On this day five months ago, Hamas stormed out of Gaza and into Israel. Israel says they murdered 1,200 people and took 240 others hostage. Across Israel, families are taking to the streets to demand that their government prioritizes their release – among them is Chen Almog-Golstein, who knows the plight of hostages better than almost anyone. Chen witnessed her husband and her eldest daughter’s murders in their home by Hamas on October 7th. She and her three youngest children were then kidnapped and held for 51 hellish days in Gaza. She joined Christiane to speak about that experience and the moral duty to do everything possible to bring home those still being held in Gaza.
