Episode description

New research from Boundless shows that 40% of Americans don’t know that dozens of hostages are still being held by Hamas. And it’s clear from released hostages that those who remain are being starved, tortured, humiliated and denied medical care.

In this episode, host Aviva Klompas speaks with Idit Ohel, whose son Alon was kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7. Alon arrived just half an hour before the massacre. 

Idit shares what life has been like since Alon’s abduction and how she is fighting to keep his name and humanity front and center. This conversation is a reminder that behind every hostage is a life, a family, and a story the world must not ignore.
