Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Ella expressed the mixed emotions that accompanied the birth, highlighting the joy of her new baby and the sorrow of losing her husband. “I wish he was here with us right now,” she said.
Midwife Idit Engel, who assisted with the birth, emphasized its significance, noting, “Every labor and delivery is special but this one was even more so as this baby brings joy to a family who has suffered so much tragedy.”
Prof. Arnono Weisnizer from Beilinson’s Women’s Hospital, who has known Ella for years, shared his hopes that the birth will bring solace to the family and the nation. “Their family has been through dark times and the birth of this baby is a light for them and for the people of Israel,” he remarked.
