Idit Ohel, the mother of Alon Ohel who is held hostage in Gaza, announced ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned visit to the United States that she will travel to Washington tonight "to look into the eyes of decision-makers so they know - the time has come to save the life of my dear son Alon." Ohel said that "Alon is severely wounded. He lost an eye, he suffers from an untreated head injury and his life is in danger. If we don't save Alon now — then when?"
