Gillibrand | G000555 | www.gillibrand.senate.gov | gillibrand | https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/press-releases/page/ | scraper | U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement on the confirmation of Omer Neutra’s death on October 7th: “Today, New York mourns the loss of one of our own. The grandson of Holocaust survivors, Omer Neutra was a Long Island native who loved the New York Knicks. He loved Israel and felt a duty to serve, deferring his acceptance to Binghamton University to spend a gap year in Israel before he joined the IDF. On October 7th, he fiercely defended the communities near the Gaza border when Hamas terrorists attacked. For over a year, his parents lived in hope that their son was still alive. But today, their worst fears were confirmed. My heart breaks for them and their entire family as they face this unbearable loss. But I am also filled with pride in the life that Omer lived. His heroism and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and I will not rest until his body is returned home. May his memory be a blessing.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
