                         BRING OMER NEUTRA HOME

  (Mr. MOLINARO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share the story of Omer 
Neutra, a Binghamton University student.
  Omer is 22 years old. Omer's friends and family describe him as a 
true American kid whose fun-loving personality shines the brightest 
when he is cheering on his favorite team, the New York Knicks.
  On October 7, Omer was one of more than 240 men, women, and children 
who were brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. He and 133 hostages 
are still held captive today, enduring unthinkable torture and trauma.
  I join my colleagues in demanding that Hamas release Omer 
immediately, along with the remaining hostages. Those who have been 
released have shared horror stories of sexual abuse, children being 
forced to take drugs, and inhumane and barbaric conditions.
  I continue to stand with Israel as it works to eradicate Hamas and 
free the innocent people wrongfully held by this terrorist group. It is 
time to bring Omer home. It is time to bring them all home.
