FREED British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari has an emotional phone call with Sir Keir Starmer.

The Prime Minister told the 28-year-old he was overjoyed by the “heartwarming” images of her reunion with mum Mandy nearly a fortnight ago, and invited her to visit 10 Downing Street after she recovers from her 15-month ordeal.

South East Londoner Emily was taken from her home in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas gunmen who shot her in the hand and leg and killed her dog.

On the call, she claimed she was held for some time in a United Nations Facility, but denied access to medical treatment.

Despite losing two fingers and being left with a gunshot wound in her leg, all she was given was an out-of-date bottle of iodine.

Mandy said her daughter “seems to be doing pretty well psychologically” but is facing a long road to recovery physically.

Meanwhile, fears were growing last night for the fate of Israeli brothers Kfir and Ariel Bibas, aged two and five, after dad Yarden was named among three hostages to be freed by Hamas today — with no mention of the boys or their mum Shiri.

Relatives of the family have “mixed emotions”.
