He once had a name. A face. A smile
Now, there\u2019s only a gaze<\/p>\n
Rom Breslavski, 22 years old, from Pisgat Ze’ev in Jerusalem, was abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, after trying to save others
Since then \u2013 he vanished<\/p>\n
Now, with the release of a new video by Islamic Jihad, the picture becomes clearer \u2013 and unbearably hard to watch<\/p>\n
According to his captors, the video was recorded on July 20
In it, Rom lies motionless, his body emaciated, his face hollow, his skin pale, and his eyes \u2013 gone
In one silent frame, you see everything the world refused to see
there is barely a person left<\/p>\n
His family asked that the video not be published in Israel
Not because they want silence \u2013 but because the image is too much to bear
Rom appears like a version of the living dead \u2013 not quite alive, not yet dead
He lies within a pit without bottom, in captivity that everyone seems to have forgotten: the enemies, his own people, and humanity as a whole<\/p>\n
After releasing the video, Islamic Jihad claimed it had lost contact with his guards
They do not know if he is alive or dead
The same group that kidnapped him now shrugs responsibility<\/p>\n
And on the Israeli side
Politicians are busy with war and survival
The public moves on \u2013 summer, vacations, distractions
And the Breslavski family, like so many others, remains alone in the abyss<\/p>\n
His mother, Tami Breslavski, knows it
What can she possibly do against a world like this \u2013 against humanity like this<\/p>\n
One man \u2013 one fate<\/p>\n
And now, another question arises
Could it be that one man \u2013 the President of the United States, Donald Trump \u2013 is the only person who could break this deadlock
Not out of compassion. Not out of sentiment
But because he knows how to sense the stories that shake the world<\/p>\n
Trump is not afraid of disruption. He understands image. He spots moments
And Rom Breslavski\u2019s story \u2013 is one such moment
A moment where the fate of one life can be reversed
A moment where history remembers who stepped forward when others stepped away<\/p>\n
If you were Rom Breslavski \u2013 lying on a foreign floor, starving, trembling, silent \u2013 would you still believe someone would come for you
And if you’re not Rom \u2013 what do you do when he looks straight at you from the screen, with no voice, only eyes
Do you scroll past? Get used to it? Turn away<\/p>\n
