Following the breaking news out of Israel, Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) issued the following statement:
“Today’s breaking news from Israel offers a glimmer of hope that Omer Neutra – whose remains are still in Hamas captivity after the terrorist assault – and all the hostages, whether alive or deceased, will finally come home to the families and loved ones who have endured two years of unthinkable anguish since the barbaric Oct. 7 assault upon Israel,” Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) said. “However, the words of a malicious adversary such as Hamas must be met with action to have any meaning. As we continue to monitor these urgent new developments, may each of us remain unwavering in our prayers and demands for the return of Omer Neutra and every single hostage – and may we remain steadfast in our commitment to forever ending the Hamas campaign of terror so that a just, lasting peace can be achieved.”
