Elder of Ziyon
Hamas has been trying to ransom his remains since the Gaza war.
Oron's parents, Herzl and Zahava, will hold a press conference today about this.
Israeli military experts are unanimous that the letter is forged but Oron's parents are pressuring Israel to do something to get his remains and Hamas is sickeningly trying to attack their weak spot.
The letter itself is clearly a forgery just based on its topics, which happen to be exactly congruent with what Hamas wants. It says things like "I want freedom from captivity, but the feeling you have forgotten me and you do not care about me fills my heart with fear and distress. What makes me feel worse is that I think you are abandoning me for many years as the government did with the soldier Gilad Shalit.
"Mom, I started feeling cold and I am afraid that the winter will be as bad as it was last year. Is your heart not upset that I should be away from you all this time? Mom, do you agree you are being played as a political pawn? Do you agree with the false promises our government gives? We were promised by the army that we would return to our and our mothers alive and well, but they left me, went and did nothing for me so far. I discovered that I was not coming back until their prisoners be released. "
Hamas media is delighted that the story is getting out there, hoping for pressure on Israel to release more terrorists in a swap.
Sources close to the family say that they are distraught over this development.
