Rabbi Elchanan Danino, whose son Ori was killed in Hamas captivity, said on 103FM radio that he was aware of hostage negotiations involving Hamas and Turkey for his son's release, and that three days later he received a warning from the Mossad to stop. He described knowing a parent who was told by the Mossad to cease such talks or face arrest. The details were reported by N12.
Rabbi Elchanan Danino — whose son Ori was murdered in Hamas captivity — stated on 103FM radio (with Anat Davidov and Nissim Mishal) that he was aware in real time of hostage negotiation talks involving Hamas and Turkey for his son's release. Speaking Thursday morning, Danino said that three days after gaining that knowledge, he received a warning from the Mossad to cease his involvement. He also described a second parent involved in similar talks who was told by the Mossad to stop or face arrest.
As The Zioneer reported shortly before this broadcast, Danino had said he was aware of the talks and the Mossad warning earlier the same day. The rabbi's account provides a rare, on-the-record description of behind-the-scenes contacts between hostage families and intermediaries, as well as an apparent Mossad effort to block independent negotiation channels with Hamas.
The details are drawn from a single sourced radio interview (N12). The identity of the other parent mentioned was not disclosed, and neither the Mossad nor the Prime Minister's Office has commented publicly. The claims remain unverified by official sources.
