Mother of Israeli hostage begs Trump, Netanyahu to bring son home before ceasefire collapses: 'No more time'
Fox News
The mom of an Oct. 7 hostage begged President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring her son home before the ceasefire ends.
Idit Ohel said she received confirmation that her son is still alive from released hostages Eli Sharabi and Or Levy, two of the three gaunt, frail-looking Israelis forced to speak Saturday during a Hamas hand-over ceremony in Gaza.

The mother said the released hostages, who were held with her son for part of their nearly 500 days in captivity, told her that Alon Ohel is unable to see out of an eye after being struck by shrapnel when Hamas was closing in on Oct. 7, 2023. Alon Ohel, a civilian, was attending the Nova music festival when terrorists attacked, and he took cover in a bomb shelter. Hamas pounded the shelter with grenades and gunfire, and he "was taken, wounded, with blood all over him," Idit Ohel said.
