Advocate For Israeli Hostages Pins Hopes On Joe Biden

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING One family’s story offers a snapshot of the devastating impact of the Oct. 7, 2023, attack inside Israel — and the agonizing personal toll that choices by Hamas, Israel and the U.S. have taken in the year since. “Military pressure kills the hostages,” Carmel Gat’s cousin Gil Dickmann told Reuters a few days later. “We don’t want to see more death as a result.” Only freedom for all hostages “can truly help us heal,” he added, describing the current state of diplomacy as “the low point of a long decline in the two sides’ commitment to the prospective deal.” Gili Roman at a rally for the hostages in New York earlier this year. Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images On the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks, the Qatari government – which allows leaders of Hamas to live in the country and helps facilitate the negotiations — newly called for an agreement to free hostages and attain a cease-fire in Gaza, where local health officials say at least 41,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s military campaign. “President Biden has two crucial months of leadership after the elections in which he could be more free,” Roman wrote, citing Biden’s “deep commitment to the hostages’ fate.” Roman and other hostage release advocates have repeatedly traveled to the U.S. to build momentum for a deal, reflecting the sense among Israelis that Biden could wield huge influence, given Israel’s reliance on U.S. support.
