It’s been 300 days since Plainview’s Omer Neutra was first taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7. His parents, Orna and Ronen Neutra continue to fight for his release.

The couple have found themselves thrust into the national spotlight, speaking at the Republican National Convention, and meeting with President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

They have expressed frustration that a deal to release the hostages still has not been made.

The full interview is available on News 12’s YouTube channel.
