Hamas released a video of hostage Omri Miran on Wednesday.

Omri Miran was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz in front of his wife, Lishay Miran-Lavi, and their two children.

“On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, when we say ‘Never Again,’ an Israeli citizen cries out for help from Hamas’ tunnels. It is a moral failure for the State of Israel," the Miran family said in a statement.

"For a year and a half, he and 58 other hostages have been waiting to be brought home.We will not give up. We will continue to fight until Omri returns to us—and especially to his two daughters, who are waiting with all their hearts to hold him again.”

Our Omri is strong and will not break—but our hearts are broken.

The most recent sign of life of Omri Miran was received through an Israeli who was returned from captivity in February.

"One of the kidnapped who returned in one of the last exchanges said that he was with Omri in the tunnels and apartments until July. It is not clear why they were separated at that stage. Overall, his condition is fine. Apparently, he is physically fine," Miran's brother, Nadav, said.

He added that he hoped there would be more details soon.

"With these human animals, anything can happen; the fact that they were in okay conditions until July does not mean that things did not change for the worse for them after that point. Seven months have passed, that is a long time. We are concerned."

Omri's daughters begged Trump his release

Omri Miran's young daughters asked US President Donald Trump to help bring their dad back from Gaza in a video posted to Omri's wife Lishay's X/Twitter in March.

"Trump, help us bring our dad home from Gaza," the toddlers said, before giving a poster with their father's picture a hug and kiss.

"Dear @realDonaldTrump, my daughters talk about you all the time—they know you’re the one who brings daddies home to their kids," Lishay said in the post.
