New York Governor Kathy Hochul took to social media amid the Thanksgiving holiday to call for the release of the hostages in Gaza.

"As we gather with family today, we must not forget the families who are missing their loved ones who were taken hostage by Hamas 418 days ago — including New York’s own Omer Neutra.

"Let us pray that by this time next year, they will be reunited safely with their families," she wrote.
