Jill and I are devastated and outraged to +learn of the death of Omer Neutra, an American citizen, whose body Hamas +has apparently been holding since they killed him during their brutal +terrorist attack on October 7. + +Omer was just 21 years old when he was taken by Hamas. He was serving as +a tank commander in an Israel Defense Forces unit that was among the +first to respond to Hamas’s campaign of cruelty— risking his life to +save the lives of others. A Long Island native, Omer planned to return +to the United States for college. He dreamed of dedicating himself to +building peace. + +Less than a month ago, Omer’s mother and father joined me at the White +House to share the pain they’ve endured as they prayed for the safe +return of their son – pain no parent should ever know. They told me how +Omer’s grandparents were Holocaust survivors and how their family’s +strength and resilience has been carried through the generations. + +During this dark hour—as our nation joins Omer’s parents, brother, and +family in grieving this tragic loss—we pray to find strength and +resilience. And to all the families of those still held hostage: We see +you. We are with you. And I will not stop working to bring your loved +ones back home where they belong. + +\###
