American hostage's father claims Hamas is responsible for their suffering in Gaza.

The family of an American hostage being held in Gaza is urging caution about the dangers of innocents being held in "the worst place in the world" under Hamas' captivity, as they are facing a life-threatening situation.

Since Oct. 7, Ronen and Orna Neutra have been living in constant pain and limbo after Hamas captured their son, Omer, 22, while he was stationed at a base near Kibbutz Nir Oz. Omer, who grew up in Long Island, New York, is a dual American-Israeli citizen serving in the Israel Defense Forces.

Orna told Planet Chronicle Digital that it's insane to be in constant pain and anxiety while still having to function on a very high, intense level. Every single day, they travel all over and are in a fight over his life.

Orna and Ronen have been traveling the world, speaking with global leaders, and pleading with them to intervene and help their son. They said they're just being parents when asked about how they handle the pressure.

Ronen stated that they do not view themselves as unique in any way and are simply typical parents. They own a small business on Long Island and led a peaceful, routine life until it was taken away. Now, they desire to return to that tranquil existence.

At the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas last week, Ronen stated that the only solution to the issue was a hostage deal.

""Omer and the other 100 hostages are in grave danger and running out of time. Every moment in captivity is a risk to their lives and well-being. A deal is the only viable path to bring all hostages back home," he said during a speech."

Last week, Hamas brutally murdered six hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, after subjecting them to inhumane treatment in a tunnel. The IDF found the bodies of all six hostages on Saturday during an operation in Gaza's tunnels. The IDF believes that they were killed shortly before Israeli soldiers arrived.

According to Israel's Channel 13, the tunnel where the hostages were reportedly killed by Hamas had abysmal conditions and the hostages could barely breathe.

Omer's wife contacted the reception to convey a message to their son, urging him to remain strong.

"We love you, Omer, and we won't stop fighting to bring you home. We won't lose hope," she added.

Omer, a friendly person who is an athlete and a sports fan, was born and raised in New York.

""He's a regular kid with a messy bedroom, but he's also a funny, easygoing, fun guy who knows when to do the right thing and how to step up," his mom said."

They believe in Omer's strength, as his father stated so.

Our grandfathers demonstrated remarkable resourcefulness and survival skills during the Holocaust in Europe, despite most of their families being killed. Perhaps those same genes have been passed down to Omer, giving him the strength and instinct to survive in the face of adversity in Gaza, which is considered one of the worst places on earth.

Their son is always on their mind as they go about their daily activities.

"When we wake up, we wonder if he is also waking up. When we shower, we ponder if he took a shower. When we eat, we contemplate if he is getting food. Omer's father said, 'How is he coping with this? Everything seems so personal and challenging.'"

Before Omer was captured, his mother discussed future plans with him a few days prior.

His mother said, "They somehow got to talk about family, and he told me that if something were to happen to him, his parents would do everything for him. Of course, we're charged with that. He's our son. He's the one who is tormented and suffering here. And we have to do everything we can to save him."
