While speaking with the congressmen, she held a poster of her boyfriend Avinatan Or, who remains in Hamas captivity.

Rescued Israeli hostage Noa Argamani, 27, met with U.S. Congress members on Wednesday to discuss the urgent need to rescue the nearly 100 men, women and children remaining in Hamas captivity. 

Argamani, who was rescued from a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip on June 8, 2024, shared videos recorded of her by the terrorists during eight months in the coastal enclave. She told stories of fellow hostages Itai Svirski, 38, and Yossi Sharabi, 53, who were killed in captivity.

Accompanied by relatives of hostage Omer Shem-Tov and the late Israeli American Omer Neutra, she spoke with Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) and Reps. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Addison McDowell (R-N.C.) and August Pfluger (R-Texas).

During the meetings, Argamani held a poster of her boyfriend, Avinatan Or, 31, who is still being held hostage by the terrorist group.

The legislators assured Argamani and the families of Shem-Tov and Neutra that rescuing the hostages remains a top priority, pledging their continued efforts to bring them home.
