When Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, they took Carmel Gat and Yarden Roman-Gat hostage, spurring an international movement for their release. Maya and Gili Roman, two of their family members, have been prominent voices in this campaign, traveling around the world to meet with politicians and media. In part thanks to their and others’ efforts, Yarden was released with other hostages on November 29, but Carmel remains a prisoner of Hamas. Join Maya and Gili Roman to learn about their push to free the hostages and their family in captivity.
