Madam Speaker, I rise today to share the story of omer Mehran, a 46 year old husband and father of two small daughters. On October 7, Omer was one of more than 240 men, women, children and elderly who were brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. He and 134 hostages are still held captive in Gaza, enduring unthinkable torture and trauma. I stand here today to demand that Hamas release Omar immediately, along with all the remaining hostages. (00:14–00:26)
