The clock has stopped. The last hostage, the hero Ran Gvili z”l, is home, and history has been made after 843 days. Throughout the entire time I was in captivity, we counted every single day. In a place so dark, with no information, lies piled upon lies, and an endless wait to come home, we always told ourselves that we knew nothing, but there was one thing we did know - the number of days we had been held captive. We found comfort in the thought that every day that passed was one day closer to our release. And now, finally, we can stop counting. The moment we waited for for so long has arrived. Everyone in this country, and people around the world, prayed for this moment. It is incredible to me to see how everyone, truly everyone, saw, felt, and carried the pain of the hostages and their families as if they were their own brothers and sisters. People set an empty chair at Friday night dinners and on holidays, as if we were part of their family. It is incredible to see that no one gave up. Not even for a moment. This shows us the power we have when we are united around a single goal. Thank you to all the security forces who, for so long, risked their lives and gave everything of themselves, day after day. Thank you for not giving up. We are here because of you. After more than 11 years in which there were hostages in Gaza, only now, finally, can an entire country begin its healing. Be patient with one another. We have all been through hell. This is not a slogan - it is a real effort required from each of us to seek out what unites us, not what divides us. We will always remember all those murdered in this horrific massacre, the hostages who were murdered in captivity in cold blood, and the soldiers who gave their lives to protect our country. We will always remember that behind every angel taken from us, there is a family that needs support and needs to be seen. And alongside them, we remember the families of the hostages who went through hell, and who are only now truly able to begin their own healing process. Make sure that we never forget October 7th. That we will grow from our grief and become stronger. Together.
