Conversation with Yaffa Issachar

Jerusalem
With Yaffa Issachar, the mother of Israeli citizen Naama Issachar imprisoned in Russia.
With Yaffa Issachar, the mother of Israeli citizen Naama Issachar imprisoned in Russia, and Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem and all Palestine (left).

Yaffa Issachar (retranslated): I am touched that you wanted to see me, that you were willing to make time for me. I am very nervous.

It is reassuring that you are a friend of Israel and of our Prime Minister Netanyahu.

I wanted to say that my girl is so vibrant; she has a light in her eyes. She was flying to Israel to start a family.

I am asking you, Mr President, please bring her home. I miss her very much and want to hug her.

Over the nine months I spent in the Jewish community in Moscow, I realised how well they thought of you, with great respect. There is no antisemitism or xenophobia there. I realised that this is so thanks to your efforts. This is why you are respected so much. I thank you very much.

I am an ordinary person that is meeting with you at the Prime Minister’s residence. I am asking you once again to pardon her and send her home, back to me, because she is my life. I have two daughters, and they are my world.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I understand.

Ms Moskalkova, who works on human rights in Russia, is visiting her today. She will be there today. We will discuss this now.
