The hostage’s mother Tamir Nimrodi says his fate is unknown while waiting for Trump’s Peace Plan

The mother of an Israeli man taken from Hamas on October 7, 2023, says she still does not know if her son is dead or alive, but has a “real hope” that the peace plan of US President Donald Trump will bring the return of all hostages to Gaza.

Nimrodi’s Cheers told the BBC News that “fears the worst” for his son Tamir, a soldier who is not a fight, but she clung to hoping that he “still hangs” two years after his abduction.

She said he was the only Israeli hostage whose family was not said if they were alive or dead.

The Peace Plan proposed by President Trump is gaining momentum, with indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel is now being held to end the war and return the hostages.

“They have been trying to create an agreement for some time, but it didn’t take off. This time it feels different,” said G -ja Nimrodi. “There is real hope that this is this, this is the last deal.”

She said it was especially important that all hostages – alive and dead – to be released in the first phase of the plan.

“It’s huge, it’s a blessing to us,” she said.

“It is urgent to release the hostages – those who are still alive and even those who have passed. We do not know what their bodies are in. We have to release them so that families have some closure. Even the families who have received the announcement that their loved ones have died, they do not accept it because they need evidence.”

Tamir is one of 47 hostages abducted on October 7, who remain in gas – 20 of them are thought to be still alive.

The last time she saw her son had been in a video of his abduction published on social media on October 7, 2023.

“My little daughter – she was 14 years old – she came to scream that she saw her brother abducted on Instagram,” she recalls.

“I saw Tamir wearing his pajamas. He was a boss. He had no glasses. He could hardly see without them. He was terrible.”

Ever since he saw her son, an education officer in the Israeli military, who was 18 years old – forced in a jeep and expelled, “faded in gas,” she has not received signs of life.

“He is the only Israeli who has no indication of what happened or where he is,” she said.

The fate of Nepalese hostage Bipin Joshi is also unknown.

Like other families, the BBC talk to whose relatives were killed or abducted that day, Da Nimrodi said life had been frozen for two years.

“People ask me,” Two years have passed, how are you behaving? “And I say,” It doesn’t feel like two years.

This day two years ago was the most deadly in Israel’s history, when about 1,200 people were killed by armed men from Hamas and other groups, and 251 others took hostages, most of the southern communities and the music festival.

The attacks sparked a war in which more than 67,000 people in Gaza were killed by Israeli hostilities, according to the health ministry in the territory. Almost the entire population has been displaced and much of its infrastructure is flattened.

D -Ja Nimrodi said she was in her home near Tel Aviv when she received a message from Tamir early on October 7, 2023 from her post on the north side of the Gaza border.

“He said,” there are rockets and that’s constant, “she recalled.

Tamir told her that she would soon return to the family home, as usual during such moments because of his role as not a fight.

“I told him to take good care of himself and to write to me when he could, and he said he would try. These were the last words between us. It was 06:49 in the morning and I found out later in those 20 minutes after our last message that was taken,” she said.

She lobbies for her son’s return, including rallies with other hostage families.

But she said there are days when she can’t get out of bed.

“I try to listen to my body – what can I do? How much force do I have?”

The momentum behind the peace plan brought some hope for other families for hostages that their loved ones could soon be returned home.

D -Ja Nimrodi joined tens of thousands of people – including hostage families and former hostages themselves – who had gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday night to call on the deal to be executed.

She wore a T -shirt with her son’s photo in the front, smiling and ruthless.

“I believe in this deal and I believe that Trump will not let this slip,” she said, as the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the right thing – bring the hostages home and bring peace to this region. “

She said that when she tried to sleep the same night, she would be met with the “horrified appearance” in her son’s eyes as he was abducted, playing in her head every day.

“Let’s hope for two years – it’s absolutely exhausting.”
