Katie Couric Instagram – More than a month ago, I spoke with Yoni Katz Asher, whose wife Doran, and daughters Raz and Aviv (4 1/2 years old and 2 years old) were kidnapped in an unprecedented surprise attack on Saturday, October 7. On Friday, the family reunited with one another at the Israeli Schneider Children’s Medical Center. ❤️❤️❤️ Yoni shared a statement after his family’s safe arrival, saying, “I am determined to help my family recover from the trauma and the terrible ordeal we’ve endured, all for the sake of our children and Doron.” “Though challenging days still lie ahead, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our sons, who endured great suffering, as well as to the IDF, the Israeli government, and the Security Cabinet for their dedicated efforts. I extend my thanks to the wonderful people of Israel for their unwavering support.” “A profound thank you goes to the Families of the Captives organization, which tirelessly works towards bringing them all back. While I am overjoyed to have my family back, it’s important to acknowledge that there are still people in captivity at this very moment, whose hearts are shattered. I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that every hostage returns home.” “The families of the hostages are not just names on posters or slogans; they are real people. They have become my new family from this day forward, and I will continue to work tirelessly until the last captive returns home. Thank you to everyone for your support,” he concluded. Aviv, Raz and their mother Doron Katz Asher were kidnapped on October 7th from the home of their grandmother in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Doron’s mother, Efrat Katz (69), was murdered by Hamas. Doron’s husband, Yoni, last contacted them when Doron informed him that terrorists had entered the house they were in and that Gadi Moses, Efrat’s partner, had been taken by the terrorists. 🎥: Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel via Storyful #reunion #middleeast #news
