Former hostage Emily Damari proposed to her girlfriend, social media influencer Danielle Amit, during an event marking the anniversary of Damari's release from captivity in the Gaza Strip. The emotional moment was captured on video and widely shared online, showing Damari dressed in white as she got down on one knee.

Damari, who was kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza and held for 500 days, had previously spoken about hiding her sexual orientation from her captors out of fear for her safety. The couple publicly announced their relationship in June 2025, several months after Damari's release.
