Families of American Hostages in Gaza Launch National TV Ad Campaign

The ad, funded by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, aims to pressure U.S. and Israeli governments to secure the release of the remaining 130 hostages, including eight Americans.

• Eight American hostages are still held captive in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in Israel, with families launching a national television ad campaign to press for their release.
• The ad, funded by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, will air on cable networks and Sunday news programs in the U.S. for several weeks.
• Over 1,200 people were killed and about 240 were abducted during the Oct. 7 attacks; 105 people, mostly women and children, were released in late November, leaving about 130 hostages, including the eight Americans.
• The families of the hostages believe the ad could help keep pressure on the U.S. and Israeli governments to secure the captives' freedom.
• Concerns have been raised about the hostages being subjected to inhumane conditions, including potential torture and sexual assault.
