We continue to pray to our LORD that all hostages be released. We must be steadfast in our prayers! We just have seen this happen: THANK YOU LORD! U.S. and Russia take part in largest prisoner swap since Cold War
Thursday, Aug. 1 marks exactly 300 days since the terror organization Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered 1,200 and kidnapped over 250 people on Oct. 7, 2023.
Today, 115 of them remain in captivity, with 74 estimated to be alive.
“For 300 days our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, grandparents, have been languishing in the dungeons of Hamas in Gaza. Each second of every minute of every hour of these 300 days is a crime against humanity. And each second that passes the need to bring them home becomes more and more urgent,” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said in a statement.
“To all the leaders of the world who wish for peace in our region, I say clearly: help us bring our hostages home – all of them, young and old, men and women, Jews, Muslims and more. Help us bring them home now.”
Some world leaders acknowledged the 300-day-long plight of Israel’s hostages in public statements.
“Our thoughts are with the hostages held for 300 days by Hamas. France continues to work for their release,” French President Emmanuel Macron stated on 𝕏.
Germany’s ambassador in Israel, Steffen Seibert, wrote: “300 days. 115 human beings. Grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters –loved and missed by their families. There is no more important goal than to #BringThemHomeNow.” More Here
