A pregnant woman kidnapped by Hamas has given birth to a baby while in captivity in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli prime minister’s wife said. This is evident from a letter from Sara Netanyahu to Jill Biden, the First Lady of the US, which was published on Wednesday.
“You, like me, can only imagine what must be going through the mind of this young mother as she and her newborn baby are held captive by these killers,” continued the letter, written in English and released by the office of Netanyahu.
In it, Sara Netanyahu spoke about a total of 32 children who were under the control of the militant Palestinian organization or its allies in the Gaza Strip. Among them was a ten-month-old baby.
According to Israeli reports, Hamas abducted around 240 people to the Gaza Strip during its brutal attack on Israel on October 7. According to the Hostage Families Forum, the 10-month-old baby was Kfir Bibas, who was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz along with his four-year-old brother Ariel and his parents Jarden and Schiri.
Call for “immediate release of the children”
In her letter, Netanyahu’s wife called on Jill Biden to join her in calling for the “immediate release of the children” and the other hostages. According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, Sara Netanyahu had also written to other wives of heads of state around the world.
Qatari mediators are currently trying to reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas on the release of hostages. On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden expressed cautious optimism that such an agreement would be reached. But he didn’t say anything more about it.
