'I still have hope': Mother of IDF soldier taken hostage by Hamas fears he'll be one of last freed

Nimrod Cohen, an Israeli soldier, remains one of 20 living hostages held in Gaza by Hamas since the October seventh attacks. His parents, Yehuda and Vicky, continue to endure an emotional struggle as hopes for a ceasefire and hostage release rise and fall with ongoing but unsuccessful negotiations. Vicky clings to hope despite repeated disappointments, while Yehuda has learned to temper his expectations, believing that only a ceasefire and hostage deal will bring their son home. As talks stall and partial deals are discussed, the family fears Nimrod, as a soldier, may be among the last to be freed, making their fight for his release all the more urgent.
