An Israeli woman whose father was kidnapped by Hamas in his underwear pleaded for his release in a public show of solidarity in matching underwear.
“Don’t ask me if I’m cold, my father is cooler,” read a sign next to Ela Ben Ami in Tel Aviv’s “Kidnapped Square,” video broadcast by the Channel 13 show.
His father, Ohad Ben Ami, and his mother, Raz, both 57, from Kibbutz Be’eri, were among about 240 people abducted on Oct. 7. He was photographed being dragged wearing only boxers and underwear.
“We are at the seventh candle of Hanukkah, [and] I promised myself and my father that tomorrow he will be here with us to light the eighth candle,” he said, according to Walla.
“That’s why I’m sitting here, because we have no other way to cry,” he said. “We need to be heard. I will be as cold as him, I don’t know if they brought him new clothes. They need to go home now.”

Ella was accompanied by her sister Yuli and her mother, who were among more than 100 hostages released during the recent week-long ceasefire, Channel 13 reported.
Raz thanked the people of Israel for their love and efforts to return the hostages to their families.
“I want to say thank you for bringing me back, thank you for being here, thank you that I can go back and live my life,” he said, according to Walla.
“I am waiting for all the kidnap victims to return, including my love to return to his daughter,” added Raz.
About 137 hostages are believed to be still in the hands of the terrorists.
