Speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, Ronen and Orna Neutra, parents of Omer Neutra who was kidnapped by Hamas to Gaza on October 7, aimed to raise awareness of the plight of the hostages.

Neutra, who grew up in Long Island, New York, was kidnapped while serving as a tank commander near Gaza.

“Our son Omer is an American citizen. For 285 long days and nights, Hamas terrorists have been holding Omer in prison in tunnels underneath Gaza,” said Orna Neutra.

“Omer, which is a biblical name and means in Hebrew ‘the first crop’, is our firstborn. He was born in New York City. One month after 9/11, eight months pregnant, I walked across the Queensboro Bridge towards home that day. And here we are, 23 years later, and he's the victim of another vile terrorist attack,” she added.

The crowd chanted “bring them home!” and some of them were seen holding up signs saying “We are Jews for Trump” and Trump’s name in Hebrew.
