00:00For the parents of a young woman kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th, the endless wrangling
00:05over a hostage deal has been devastating.
00:10I hear every time, whether it's on one channel or another on TV, that a hostage deal has
00:15failed once again.
00:17Why?
00:19What is the purpose of all this?
00:22Their daughter, Karina Ariev, was one of seven female Israeli soldiers kidnapped from an
00:28army base by Hamas gunmen.
00:31In a video of her kidnapping, one of her captors points to Karina on the bottom right of your
00:36screen and calls her beautiful.
00:44Karina's parents fear the worst.
00:50We thought about it straight away.
00:53For a few days, after we realized the magnitude of the horror of that day.
01:01The rape that was committed, the murders, everything the women went through there.
01:11We thought about it all the time.
01:14All the time.
01:16And you try not to think about these things, but when you're left alone with your thoughts,
01:20you can't help it.
01:25Footage and witness testimony from October 7th show that sexual violence, including rape,
01:31was carried out during the Hamas attack.
01:34Those findings were later supported by a UN team of experts.
01:40When I think of my daughter in captivity as a father, that my daughter has been kidnapped
01:46with a gun to her temple, I just have trouble thinking logically, and it really scares me.
01:55This event has been going on for nine months, and all that arises from it, if it's pregnant
02:01women, and like you said, she could come back with a child.
02:09It's really hard, and I feel powerless.
02:11I can't do anything to get her out of there.
02:16Nine months on, Karina's parents have joined other Israeli families on the streets of Tel
02:21Aviv, pleading for a deal to bring their loved ones home from a government that has so far
02:27failed to make their suffering stop.
02:30Karina's mother wants her to hold on.
02:33Karina, if you hear me, then we want you to do everything to stay alive, to survive.
02:41We survive these days in captivity, and for our part, we are doing everything possible
02:48for you to come back to us, so just survive.
02:53We love you and miss you very, very much.
