For over 100 days, 136 American citizens have been held hostage by the Iran-backed militant group Hamas, following a terrorist attack on October 7th. U.S. lawmakers, including Donald Norcross and Joni Ernst, have published an op-ed calling on their colleagues to take action to secure their release and to #BringThemHome. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand spoke of the indescribable anguish of the families she met, whose loved ones are among the hostages. The urgency of the situation has been reinforced by others, with calls for the immediate release of each and every hostage. Elikowaz emphasized that the hostages are being held in the terror dungeons of Gaza and urged not to be distracted by the ICJ ruling or other issues. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the plight of Holocaust survivors who witnessed their family members and loved ones murdered during the same attack, sharing their stories with the public, as captured by @N12News.
These Holocaust survivors relived some of their worst nightmares when Hamas terrorists infiltrated their communities and murdered their family members and loved ones on October 7th. On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, listen to their heartbreaking stories. ๐ธ @N12News
112 days. 136 hostages, Another Shabbat without the 136 hostages. Donโt let the ICJ ruling or anything else distract you. Our brothers and sisters are still being held captive by Hamas in the terror dungeons of Gaza. We must do everything in our power to #BringThemHomeNow https://t.co/rmjScN1VpY
Itโs been more than 100 days since the hostages were taken by Hamas. We cannot forget them and we must do everything in our power to bring them home!
Every story from October 7th is more heartbreaking than the last. Every family that has been ripped apart by Hamas' actions has experienced loss that no one should ever experience. We need each and every hostage to be released NOW! For those heartless enough to deny any ofโฆ
More than 100 days have passed since Hamas's terrorist attack, and in that time, I've met several families whose loved ones are being held hostage. The anguish they're facing is indescribable. We must continue to tell the stories of their loved ones until they return home. https://t.co/ouOa9CfeJO
For over 100 days, American citizens have been held hostage by Iran-backed Hamas. For over 100 days, their families have come to Congress pleading for answers & action. Read my op-ed with @SenJoniErnst calling on our colleagues to fight to #BringThemHome. https://t.co/tRtXwhkkEt
