Mother’s Anguish Over Daughter Kidnapped by Hamas Revealed in Exclusive Interview
In a compelling interview with The Media Line, Simona Steinbrecher shares the heart-wrenching story of her daughter Doron’s abduction by Hamas and the unbearable agony of waiting for her return.

Reporter Veronica Neifakh delves into the profound impact of this tragedy on Simona and her plea for an end to the war.
Simona recounts the moment Hamas released a video of Doron and two other hostages, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the torment. Despite the relief of seeing her daughter alive, the visual evidence of Doron’s declining health without her essential medication adds to Simona’s fears. The returned hostages’ harrowing stories of dire conditions and brutal treatment in captivity amplify her concern for her daughter and others still held.
