Sara Netanyahu sends a letter to US First Lady Jill Biden stressing the plight of the Israeli children and babies held hostage in Gaza by Hamas and other terror groups.
Netanyahu writes that she is reaching out “first and foremost as a mother.”
She says that 32 children have been held captive in Gaza for more than five weeks, and “are surely suffering from untold trauma, not only by being kidnapped, but having witnessed the brutal murder of their parents and siblings.”
Netanyahu notes that one of the kidnapped women was pregnant and “she gave birth to her baby in Hamas captivity. You can only imagine, as I do, what must be going through that young mother’s mind as she is being held with her newborn by these murderers.”
She calls on Biden to “speak out on behalf of these children” and call for their immediate release.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
