Monday, family members of hostages in Hamas captivity stormed a parliament session in Jerusalem as they called on Israel's government to do more to secure their loved ones release. It has been a distressing few months for the extended Roman Got family, multiple relatives taken hostage October 7th Carmel got remain behind enemy lines, but her sister in law, Israeli German citizen Jardin Roman, has since been released from captivity. With more, we are joined by Julie Roman, brother of Jordan. Roman got and Addie Davis, childhood friend of Jordan. Roman got in Jordan and we talked to you before about her journey. Now she's out of captivity. What was that moment like for you? I was just happy for her. And for her daughter and her husband, and seeing her father smiling again and seeing Gilly, um, coming back to life. Um, and kind of holding the part where we still have other hostages that are being held. Um, and here is a picture of that moment. Take us there. Yeah. This uh, as you can see, it's a very emotional, loaded moment. Huge. It was an exhilarating moment and deeply emotional. You can see me, uh, crying here a little bit with unusual. Um, when we saw her first on, uh, on the TV screen. Just imagine you can only see after 54 days. Your sister, closest person to you, just on the TV screen, alive on the Egyptian border. And we all jumped and screamed and then we met her in the middle of the night at the hospital, seeing her, you reunite not only with us, but also with her three years old daughter, which she managed to save by running from the terrorists. It's a huge relief. Uh, we got our breath back and we got our beloved Jordan back. Uh, but as daddy said, it's a conflict. Fuel. Uh you're happy for her, but you're still worried about all the other folks, including a family member named Kamal. Tell us about her and what we know about her. So So, uh, Kamal has, uh, piece of a wonderful person, uh, been taken from the same house in Bari as and has been held in Gaza for almost for 109 days. It's double the time that Jordan was there, which was imaginable for itself. Right Uh, we know that the captivity for, uh, Kamal isn't easy. Two of the boys that were with her at the same room were released and told us that it was a violent, um, time bomb there by some of the guards, the Hamas guards. But she was able to be strong enough to give them mental resilience, to teach them yoga, meditation, trying to work on their mental strength, and really hope that although she's there so much time, she's been treated better. But we cannot be sure about it. It can also be worse. And she maintained her mental strength. Um, you know, the conversations about this was was happening so often in October and November, and you don't hear as many of the conversations now. So what is your message on that front? Yeah, it's very important for us. Um to convey this is a humanity driven crime. This we have civilians, we have babies, we still have women that are in captivity. We must have this in every conversation. I don't think anywhere in the world we had so many innocent civilians taken from their house in the middle of the night. And I really ask from everyone to keep on having this in the media and talking about this. We must get them out and I will add that this is our second time since October 17th. The second time here in the US, and I feel a different, um, atmosphere here that I hear more and more from people that we are meeting, uh, that they are also scared. Um, not only Jews, just citizens here in the US, that they are scared that it will come to your front because they're asking me what is going on. What how it how it can be that they haven't been released yet. What does it say about us? What does it say about the Western world that is unable able to rescue these people, that unwell, able to create this win? So I think that it's not only about us, it's also about you. Well said Eli Adi, hopefully we
