Bring Them Home: How Times Square's Shocking Message Stunned Millions
WATCH: Times Square Billboard Demands "Hamas, Where are the Bibas Babies?"
In a powerful display of solidarity, a series of billboards in the heart of New York’s Times Square have called for the release of Shiri Bibas and her two children, Ariel and Kfir, who remain in captivity in Gaza.
Times Square Billboards Demand the Release of the Bibas Family: A Heartbreaking Call for Justice
The bold message, demanding that Hamas release the rest of the Bibas family, was seen by millions of passersby, amplifying the plea for justice and the safe return of loved ones still held hostage.
Yarden Bibas, a husband and father, was released after spending 484 days in Hamas captivity. His return, while deeply emotional, was bittersweet. Despite the overwhelming joy of having Yarden back home, his family’s relief is tempered by the agonizing truth: Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir are still in Gaza, unable to return to their home. Yarden’s sister, Ofri Bibas Levy, has spoken openly about the emotional toll this has taken on their family. She expressed the pain of having Yarden home but still feeling incomplete, stating, “Yarden asks about them, and I have no answers for him.”
The Bibas family has endured an unimaginable ordeal, holding onto hope during the long, uncertain days of Yarden’s captivity. Their story is one of courage, but also of grief as they wait for the safe return of Shiri and the children. Yarden’s physical recovery from his ordeal has begun, but his emotional healing is far from complete without his wife and children by his side. His family’s fight is not just for his recovery but for the safe return of the rest of the Bibas family.
The billboards in Times Square symbolize more than just a call for the Bibas family’s reunion—they represent the broader struggle of hostages still held by Hamas. For Yarden and his family, the journey to full recovery can only be realized when Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir are home. As the world watches, the Bibas family’s story has become a symbol of resilience, of the painful reality many families face in the midst of conflict, and a reminder that no one should be left behind.
The billboards continue to serve as a call for action, urging governments and negotiators to work tirelessly to secure the release of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir, and bring an end to the nightmare for the Bibas family.
