Mother of UK-Israeli Hostage Urges Government Action for Daughter's Release

Mandy Damari pleads with UK officials to intensify efforts to free her daughter, Emily, held by Hamas for a year.

Emily Damari, a 28-year-old British-Israeli dual citizen, was kidnapped by Hamas from her home in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Mandy Damari, Emily's mother, has been actively campaigning for her daughter's release, expressing frustration with the lack of awareness and action from the UK government.
Mandy has written a heartfelt letter to Emily, urging her to stay strong, which she hopes will be delivered through diplomatic channels.
The UK Foreign Office has been approached for comments, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer has met with families of hostages to discuss potential actions.
A memorial event in Hyde Park highlighted the ongoing plight of hostages like Emily, amid broader calls for peace in the escalating Middle East conflict.
