The Prime Minister of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ireland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ireland</a> was met with intense backlash on Saturday after he said on social media that one of the Israelis who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists last month was &#8220;lost&#8221; and had been &#8220;found and returned.&#8221;
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar made the remarks about 9-year-old Emily Hand, who was released by terrorists on Saturday after Israel brokered a deal to ensure her safe return to her family.
Emily, who was 8 years old when she was kidnapped on October 7, was thought to have been killed during the unprecedented terrorist attack in which Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis. She was kidnapped during a sleepover at a friend&#8217;s house at Kibbutz Be&#8217;eri.
&#8220;This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family,&#8221; Varadkar wrote on X. &#8220;An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered.&#8221;

Holy cow…
The Taoiseach of Ireland (Prime Minister) refers to a 9 year old girl who was brutally kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas as “lost” and “been found and returned.” <a href="https://t.co/9qgsc1ZDVL">pic.twitter.com/9qgsc1ZDVL</a>

Israeli Government Spokesman Eylon Levy responded to the post: &#8220;This is how you describe a little girl who went missing during a stroll in a forest, then gets discovered by a friendly hiker. Not a girl brutally abducted by death squads that brutally massacred her neighbors. But this explains the extent of Ireland&#8217;s contribution: prayers.&#8221;
&#8220;Lost? This wasn’t your phone that was ‘lost &amp; found’! This was a human being. A 9-year-old who was kidnapped and taken hostage into Gaza,&#8221; said International Human Rights attorney Arsen Ostrovsky. &#8220;Emily is an Irish-Israeli national. What an extraordinary tone deaf and heartless statement from the Ireland’s PM @LeoVaradkar!&#8221;
Former Trump administration official Ezra Cohen responded: &#8220;Are you ill? Since when is brutally kidnapped by a terrorist group described as &#8216;lost&#8217;? Why are you afraid to tell the truth about what happened to Emily and so many other children?&#8221;
