Heartbroken Mother's Plea for Daughter's Release from Hamas Captivity

Ayelet Levy-Shachar, the mother of Naama Levy who is being held hostage by Hamas, made an emotional plea for her daughter's release in an interview with CNN. Levy-Shachar expressed her frustration with the lack of response from international organizations, particularly women's rights groups, and criticized the delay in condemning the sexual violence committed by Hamas. She traveled to New York to put pressure on these organizations and highlighted the urgency of the situation, as her daughter's safety is at risk every day. Levy-Shachar also questioned the Red Cross's inability to access the hostages and called for the United Nations to take action. The interview took place shortly after the IDF mistakenly killed three hostages who had escaped or been abandoned by their captors. Levy-Shachar emphasized the importance of showing the world the video of her daughter's abduction to shed light on the cruelty she has endured.
