On Oct. 7, 2023, my son Itay was taken hostage by Hamas during the group’s brutal attack on Israel. Itay is one of seven U.S. citizens among the now 100 hostages who have been held in Gaza since that horrific day. For more than 400 days, for my family, every moment of every day is filled with anguish as we search for ways to end this nightmare and bring him home.
The discovery earlier this month that Omer Neutra, a 21-year-old, was killed during the October 7th attack is heartbreaking.
