WASHINGTON, DC (WIVT/WBGH) – Congressman Marc Molinaro spoke on the House Floor on Wednesday and pleaded for the release of the innocent people held hostage by Hamas.
Molinaro, a staunch supporter of Israel, demanded that 22-year-old Omer Neutra, a deferred Binghamton University student, and the over 130 hostages be released immediately.
Molinaro made the following statement:
“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to share the story of Omer Neutra, a Binghamton University student.
Omer is 22 years old. Omer’s friends and family describe him as a true American kid whose fun-loving personality shines the brightest when he’s cheering on his favorite team, the New York Knicks.
On October 7th, Omer was one of more than 240 men, women, children, and elderly who were brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. He and 133 hostages are still held captive today, enduring unthinkable torture and trauma.
I demand that Hamas release Omer immediately, along with the remaining hostages. Those who have been released have shared horror stories of sexual abuse, children being forced to take drugs, and inhumane conditions. I will continue to stand with Israel as it works to eradicate Hamas and free the innocent people wrongfully held by this terrorist group.
It’s time to bring Omer home. It’s time to bring them all home.
I yield back.“
Binghamton University students rallied together last week to show their unwavering support for Neutra and that state of Israel.
