With Christmas coming up, the civilian-run Hostages and Missing Families Forum has designed a Christmas tree ornament with the Bring Them Home Now logo, to bring attention to the 138 hostages still held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

The ornament, created on the Shutterfly platform, can be ordered online and can be designed in a circle or square with the logo “Bring Them Home Now” printed on both sides.

The ornament is part of the forum’s global campaign calling for the immediate release of the hostages.

The civilian organization was formed within hours of the October 7 assault by Hamas terrorists who killed more than 1,200 people and abducted some 240 to Gaza, in order to offer every kind of support to the families of the hostages.

“We are now more than 60 days into a global humanitarian crisis,” stated the forum.

“There are 138 people from close to 30 countries still being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Time is running out for them. It is imperative that everyone who has a voice — world leaders, politicians and most importantly, individual citizens — continue to do everything in their power to bring them home now,” the statement read.
