Sara Netanyahu today (Wednesday) appealed to the wife of the US President, Jill Biden, to act for the release of the Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity in Gaza.
In the letter sent by the Prime Minister's wife, it was written, "I am writing to you not only as Bibi's wife but first and foremost as a mother," Mrs. Netanyahu wrote, "for over a month now, 32 children have been held as hostages in Gaza, brutally torn from their parents and their homes. These children must be suffering from severe trauma not only because of their abduction, but after witnessing the brutal murder of their parents and siblings on that horrific day in October."
Sara Netanyahu: "This nightmare must end"
Netanyahu told about a birth that she said took place in the captivity of Hamas: "One of the women was kidnapped by Hamas when she was pregnant. She gave birth to her baby in the captivity of Hamas. You can only imagine, as I do, what a woman in the delicate state of labor goes through when she is held by these killers. Hamas is holding a baby that is only a few days old! One of the kidnapped is only ten months old. A baby. He became a captive even before he learned to walk or talk."
She also wrote, "I appeal to you, as a mother to a mother," Mrs. Netanyahu wrote, "We must call for their immediate and unconditional release. We must demand that the Red Cross visit the abductees. They haven't done this yet. This nightmare that began more than a month ago must end. These children and adults need our help."
The Prime Minister's Office reported that additional letters were sent by Sara Netanyahu to the wives of the presidents of France, Great Britain and other leaders. She asked them to mobilize for the release of the abductees and also to put pressure on the Red Cross so that it would visit each and every one of them and work for their release.
