JERUSALEM, — In Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 7th exactly one month to the day after the brutal October 7th Hamas attack on Israel families of those taken hostage held a press conference to draw attention to the lawmakers on Capitol Hill for continued United States support for Israel on all fronts. They made it clear to members of Congress about the need for aid to Israel and the continued help in getting their loved ones safely returned home as soon as possible.
A very emotional Doris Liber, whose son 26-year-old Guy Iluz, spoke to her on the phone the morning of October 7th telling her about hearing gunshots and describing bodies everywhere. She told members of Congress “It’s been 30 days. Every day is like an eternity to me,” Lieber said, breaking down momentarily. “I’m part of your people, you’re part of Israel and America has been like the best ally. I’m so proud of being an American, being an Israeli as well. But I do need you now.”
