Demand the Release of All Remaining Hostages

Stand with humanity. Urge immediate action for the safe return of all remaining hostages held by Hamas.

Your voice matters: Join the global call for the release of all remaining hostages.

Every day that passes is another day of unimaginable suffering for the remaining hostages held by Hamas. These individuals—men, women, and children—were taken from their homes and remain in captivity, deprived of their basic rights and freedoms.

A Year of Advocacy, Yet Progress Remains Slow

The Simon Wiesenthal Center has tirelessly advocated for their release. We have appealed directly to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), urging them to take decisive action. Despite this, progress remains heartbreakingly slow. The brutal murders of hostages underscore the urgency of intervention to prevent further loss of innocent lives.

Urgency in Action: Time Is Running Out

Time is of the essence. We call upon the ICRC to fulfill its humanitarian mandate by demanding immediate access to the hostages, verifying their well-being, and ensuring their medical needs are met. These are not lofty goals—they are the bare minimum owed to these victims under international law.

The Human Cost: Families Left in Agony

Hostage situations are not just a political issue; they are a human tragedy. Each of these individuals has a name, a family, and a life worth saving. They are mothers, fathers, siblings, and children who have been ripped from their loved ones. Their captors must not be allowed to operate in silence, without accountability.

We cannot afford to look away. As time passes, the risk to their lives grows exponentially. The ICRC has a critical role to play in ensuring these hostages are not forgotten. Their efforts—or lack thereof—could mean the difference between life and death.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center refuses to remain silent in the face of such an atrocity. We urge the ICRC to:

  • Demand immediate access to the hostages held by Hamas.
  • Secure proof of life for each hostage.
  • Provide urgent medical care and supplies to all hostages.

Amplify the Call for Justice

The world must not turn a blind eye to the plight of these hostages. Advocacy efforts play a critical role in pushing for meaningful action and holding the ICRC accountable to its humanitarian responsibilities.

The hostages’ families live in agonizing uncertainty every day. Their hope is tied to our collective determination to act. Let us not fail them.

Time is of the essence. Every moment counts in the fight for justice and the safe return of these innocent lives. Together, we can make a difference.
