Statement from Israel Appreciation Day CEO on The Tragic Loss of Six Hostages in Gaza

Israel Appreciation Day is devastated by the heartbreaking news of the six murdered hostages found in Gaza. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this tragic time.

IAD's CEO, Robert Chernin, expressed the following: "Once again, we see the evil and barbarism that is Hamas. They will never be a partner in any long-lasting and meaningful peace because all human life, both Israelis and Palestinians, are nothing more than expendable assets in their greater warfare to exterminate Israel and all the Jews. It is just that simple. The killing of the hostages should make that point crystal clear to the world and those who would criticize Israel for trying to defend themselves against extermination and to bring the hostages home."
