Father of Hostage Taken by Hamas Makes Plea at United Nations to Get Son's Remains
- On May 15, 2025, Ruby Chen, father of Itay Chen, spoke before the United Nations Security Council, urging the return of his son's remains held by Hamas in Gaza since the October 7, 2023 attack.
- This plea followed more than 19 months during which Hamas refused to acknowledge holding Itay or provide any information on his condition after abducting him as an IDF soldier defending civilians.
- Chen urged the United Nations to uphold Resolution 2474, which affirms the rights of families to receive information about relatives who have disappeared during armed conflicts, and called for punitive measures against violators such as Hamas.
- He expressed the necessity of finding some sense of resolution so they can face the difficult times ahead, describing Hamas’s refusal to provide information as a deeply cruel form of psychological warfare.
- The Security Council session marked the first debate since October 7, 2023, aiming to pressure Hamas to return the bodies and uphold international humanitarian law according to Israel’s ambassador Danon.
