The videos of the 20 returning Israeli hostages with their families in Israel show the love and depth of fulfillment they feared would never happen.

We mourn with the families of all those hostages who died/were murdered in captivity, with the families of the 1200 souls murdered on October 7, 2023, and with the families of the 1000 Israeli soldiers who were killed fighting Hamas in the past two years. May all their memories be a blessing.

The returning hostages are:

Alon Ohel, Ziv and Gali Berman, Matan Angrest, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, Omri Miran, Eitan Mor, Yosef Chaim Ohana, Bar Kuperstein, Evyatar David, Segev Kalfon, Avinatan Or, Elkana Buhbot, Maksim Herkin, Nimrod Cohen, Matan Zangauker, David and Ariel Cunio, Eitan Horn and Rom Breslavski.

May you all find a way to heal from the trauma of captivity and the brutality that you experienced. The Jewish people around the world are with you as are all decent human beings of every nation.

This war has been a nightmare for Israelis and for the masses of Palestinian civilians who have suffered and been injured in body, heart, mind, and soul – may they all and their loved ones find the path to heal from their losses.

May the future for both of our peoples be one of peace and security and the end of terror and war.
