Noa Argamani will speak at the United Nations Security Council’s monthly session on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Tuesday, marking the first time a released hostage has briefed the council, according to Israel’s mission to the United Nations.
Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, invited the Oct. 7 survivor to speak.
Israel rescued Argamani, 27, from a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip on June 8, 2024. She was captured by Hamas at the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Re’im during the terrorist group’s Oct. 7, 2023 assault.
She has been advocating for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza, last month attending the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump and meeting with U.S. Congress members.
At the Conservative Political Action Committee just outside of Washington on Saturday, Trump noted that many of the hostages are coming back dead, but emphasized the importance of bringing them home. He recognized several Oct. 7 survivors in the audience, including Argamani and Ilana Gritzewsky, and led the crowd in a round of applause for them, calling them “a beautiful group of people.”
