Statement from We Believe In Israel (WBII) - 300 Days of Captivity: A Call for Immediate Release of Hostages

Today, we mark 300 days since the harrowing events of October 7th, a date seared into our collective memory when innocent Israelis were taken hostage by Hamas. As we reflect on this somber milestone, it is vital that we continue to speak the names of those still in captivity. These individuals are not just statistics; they are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers—people whose fundamental human rights have been egregiously violated.

The international community, particularly those who champion human rights, must rise to the occasion. We call upon world leaders, and specifically the UK government—a beacon of human rights and civil liberties—to lead the charge in demanding the immediate release of these hostages. This is not merely a plea for justice; it is a call to uphold the very principles that define our shared humanity.

The plight of these hostages must not be relegated to the background. Their freedom is a cause that transcends politics and borders. We stand united in our commitment to their safe return, and we will not rest until they are home, where they belong.
