The wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has written a letter Wednesday to first lady Jill Biden, urging her to call for the “immediate release” of child hostages who are “suffering” in the captivity of Hamas terrorists. Sara Netanyahu opened her plea by saying that “I’m writing to you not only as Bibi’s wife but first and foremost as a mother.” “For over a month now, 32 children have been held kidnapped in Gaza, brutally torn from their parents and their homes,” Netanyahu said. “These children are surely suffering from untold trauma, not only by being kidnapped, but having witnessed the brutal murder of their parents and siblings on that horrific October 7th.” Netanyahu said one hostage taken by Hamas was pregnant and gave birth to her child in the presence of the terrorist group. LIVE UPDATES: ISRAEL AT WAR WITH HAMAS Sara Netanyahu, left, has written a letter to first lady Jill Biden about the hostage situation in the Gaza Strip.

We must demand the Red Cross visit them immediately. They have yet to do so.” Netanyahu concluded her message by saying that “this nightmare that began over a month ago must end” and “these children need our help.” A person looks at a wall displaying pictures of people still held hostage in Gaza, on Oct. 26, 2023 in Tel Aviv, Israel.
