American Hostage Omer Neutra’s Family Pleads for Son’s Safe Return
Omer Neutra, who is the former captain of his high school basketball team, volleyball team, and soccer team when needed, is one of six American hostages held hostage at Gaza since the October 7 massacre.

His first name roughly means “first crop,” which is what first-born son Omer was for Ronen and Orna Neutra 22 years ago.
The photos his family shares show a young man bursting with life and possibility, broad smiles at the community center where he volunteered after school, pictures with his father attending their beloved New York Knicks games, and a shot of him donning a Binghamton University athletic sweatshirt after being accepted to the New York College.
