In a moment that touched hearts around the world, Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or were finally reunited—two years after being torn apart by the brutal Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023.
Their story first shocked the globe when a chilling video showed Noa screaming for help as she was taken away on the back of a motorcycle by Hamas terrorists, her voice crying out, “Don’t kill me!” At the same time, her boyfriend Avinatan was also being dragged away by the same terror group at the Nova music festival. That image, burned into the memory of many, became a symbol of the cruelty of Hamas and the suffering of innocent civilians.
For months, the world prayed. Noa was held for 246 days. She described living in constant fear, often wondering if each night would be her last. Meanwhile, Avinatan was left in the shadows. No videos, no updates, no signs of life. He was held underground in Hamas tunnels for an unthinkable 738 days. Yet despite all odds, they both survived.
NEW: Avinatan Or and his girlfriend, Noa Argamani, reunite after two years.
The pair, whose kidnapping went viral on the day of the October 7 attack, were taken by Hamas from the Nova music festival.

This reunion was not just a happy ending—it was a victory of good over evil. And it was made possible by strength, perseverance, and leadership. Thanks to President Donald Trump’s unwavering support for Israel and his historic peace efforts in the Middle East, hostages like Noa and Avinatan were brought home. Under Trump’s guidance, the U.S. stood firmly by Israel’s side, helping to negotiate deals and carry out missions that saved innocent lives.
Noa put it best when she said, “We won our personal war.” She and Avinatan survived the worst horrors imaginable. And now, they begin a new chapter—together.

Noa gave thanks not only to her rescuers—the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces—but also to Americans who stood with her. She praised Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and above all, President Trump, for their crucial roles in the rescue and reunion.
Her words remind us of something deeper: freedom is never free. It must be defended, and it must be cherished. Noa and Avinatan’s story is one of liberty stolen—and then restored. That is why it resonates so deeply with those of us who cherish individual rights, national sovereignty, and the sacred duty of government to protect its people.
This moment is also a call to action. Hamas remains a violent, lawless force that targets civilians and hides behind innocents. Their evil deeds must not be forgotten, nor forgiven. The United States must continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself, and we must continue to speak truthfully about who the aggressors are.
Let’s remember that this reunion didn’t happen by accident. It happened because people fought for it. Because leaders stood firm. And because, in the face of terror and darkness, the light of human dignity and freedom still shines.
Noa said it with great courage: “We are back.” Yes, they are. And we, the free people of the world, must make sure that such evil never wins again.
