Israeli President Isaac Herzog meets with President Biden at the White House.

More than 400 days and nights have passed since my then 19-year-old daughter Naama was taken hostage to Gaza. Naama is a fun-loving teenager, loved by all. She embodies values of kindness, tolerance, and compassion, volunteering at a kindergarten for the children of asylum seekers, and working to build bridges between Israeli and Palestinian children through the "Hands of Peace" organization.

So much time has passed since that horrific Saturday when the world watched Hamas videos of armed terrorists brutally dragging a beaten and bloody Naama with six of her friends into the trunk of a Jeep that took them into Gaza, after forcing them to witness the murder of their friends.

The haunting images of that day still torment me with a helplessness that I had previously only felt in nightmares. We know she was wounded, and today she and the 100 other hostages remain in grave danger. Released hostages have confirmed our worst fears about the violence, physical and sexual abuse, starvation, and darkness in underground tunnels. Now, with winter's harsh cold setting in, their chances of survival under these inhumane conditions grow even more desperate.
