This is the best summary I could come up with:
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly described Ms Silver as a “lifelong advocate for peace”.
Ms Silver, born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was one of Israel’s best known advocates for peace with the Palestinians.
Her son Yonatan Zeigen told the BBC she stayed busy in her retirement, continuing her life’s work as an activist, holding meetings just days before the Hamas attacks.
Speaking to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation last week, Mr Zeigen said that while they knew Ms Silver’s house had been burned to the ground during Hamas’s attack, and that a body had been found at that time, there was “no evidence there of a struggle or bullets”, leading the family to believe she had been kidnapped.
In an interview with the BBC in the days after the attack, Mr Zeigen recounted his final communications with her as she hid in a cupboard while armed men were moving through the kibbutz.
Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu has said all hostages must be released before any temporary truce can be agreed.
