The families of the American hostages held in Gaza issued a statement today in response to the 2024 election results, marking nearly 400 days since Hamas militants captured hundreds of individuals, including seven Americans who remain in captivity.
“For 397 days, Americans– Omer, Edan, Judi, Gad, Keith, Sagui, and Itay– have suffered at the hands of Hamas terrorists in Gaza,” their statement reads. “As the United States prepares for a Presidential transition, we implore President-elect Trump and his transition team to work together with President Biden and his Administration officials to secure the immediate release of the hostages and end this nightmare for the hostage families, Israel, and the civilians of Gaza.”
The families stressed that the situation is “an urgent, catastrophic humanitarian crisis, not a partisan issue,” underscoring the need for unified action. “Our family members in captivity in Gaza need a bipartisan coalition of brave, committed leaders to bring them home,” they added. “The hostages cannot wait any longer. They are depending on us and on Republican and Democratic leaders to seize this moment.”
