As of April 2024, 133 Israeli hostages remain in captivity in Gaza, held by Hamas for 193 days without any visits from the Red Cross. U.S. political figures, including Senators Rick Scott and Aaron Bean, have strongly voiced their positions on the crisis. Senator Scott emphasized that a ceasefire should not be considered until all hostages are released and Hamas terrorists are neutralized. Representative Bean, along with others, signed a letter to President Biden urging him to support Israel and demand the immediate release of all hostages. Public and political pressure continues to mount as the international community calls for urgent action to resolve the hostage situation.
Good morning. This is your daily reminder that there are 133 Israeli men, women and children being held hostage by Hamas. We don’t rest until each and every one of them are home. #LetThemGoNow
It’s day 193, and over 100 families are still waiting for their loved ones. My colleagues and I gathered tonight to call for the return of all hostages who remain in Gaza. #BringThemHomeNow https://t.co/CMwXexpcbb
The husband & wife taken hostage by Hamas. She was freed, he is still held. Aviva Siegel tells BBC News about her ordeal: the tunnels with no oxygen, the girl who was sexually assaulted, the brutality of captivity & the need to get her husband home. https://t.co/0CvvNlaySH

There are still 134 men, women, and children held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Proud to join @RepRussellFry's letter calling on Pres. Biden to #StandWithIsrael and urge the immediate release of all hostages. #BringThemHomeNOW https://t.co/IIFCPX5hZs
October 7th was 193 days ago. Still, American citizens and so many others are being held hostage by Hamas. We should not even consider a ceasefire until the hostages are home and every last Hamas terrorist is destroyed.
