Family members of hostages convened with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to discuss efforts to secure the captives’ release.
Relatives of Omer Shem-Tov and the late American-Israeli Omer Neutra participated, joined by Noa Argamani, a recently rescued hostage. The group held discussions with Senator Dave McCormick, Representative Michael McCaul, who is completing his term as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative Addison McDowell, and Congressman August Pfluger.
During the meetings, Argamani carried a sign featuring her partner, Avinatan Or, who was abducted alongside her at the Nova festival and is still being held by Hamas.
Noa Argamani shared videos that Hamas had recorded during her captivity, emphasizing the pressing need to free the remaining hostages. She detailed the fates of two fellow captives, the late Itai Svirski and the late Yossi Sharabi, both of whom were killed while in captivity, underscoring the urgency of taking action.
The lawmakers reassured the families that resolving the hostage crisis remains a top priority and committed to maintaining their efforts to secure the release of those still in captivity.
