The mother of Alon Ohel, a hostage taken by Hamas, is pleading for her son's release after the first phase of the ceasefire concluded last week, but no new deal for a second phase has been reached. Alon remains in captivity along with 58 others after 518 days since the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel. His mother, Idit Ohel, is urging every mother in the world to help secure her son's release. The Trump administration is reportedly directly communicating with Hamas to secure the release of American hostages in Gaza.
