Father of slain US-Israeli hostage ‘shocked’ by Trump’s call for US takeover of Gaza

The father of American-Israeli Cpt. Omer Maxim Neutra, who was killed and abducted by Hamas during the terror group’s October 2023 attack, says he’s “shocked” by President Donald Trump’s call for the United States to take over Gaza.

“We didn’t know about this, but it’s clear this move was not spontaneous. We want to remind Trump and Netanyahu that human lives are at stake,” Ronen Neutra tells the Ynet news site, saying the return of the hostages must be the top priority.

His comments come after hostage families cancelled a planned press conference in Washington.
