Moshe Jamous, son of Beirut Jewish community leader Shlomo Murad Jamous and one of the last 'martyrs of the kingdom' in Lebanon, was interviewed on Kan 11's program 'Our Neighborhood'. He spoke about the hope of discovering his father's fate, and about his mother Miriam, who passed away last month without ever learning what happened to her husband. According to him, the recent negotiations are unprecedented, and the ball is now in the Lebanese court, which is expected to provide answers according to the understandings between Israel, the United States, and Lebanon. Jamous expressed skepticism but also understanding that the issue crosses sectarian lines and touches nearly every home in Lebanon. He emphasized the importance of raising public awareness of the 'martyrs of the kingdom' affair among Lebanese Jews, noting that his father and mother smuggled many Jews to Israel, and that today we are talking about a third generation in Israel.
