Dear A.,
A new documentary produced by Sheryl Sandberg exposes the horrific sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas terrorists – both on October 7 and in the months since. Today, a chilling clip from the film was released featuring Sandberg’s interview with Agam Goldstein-Almog, who was freed from Hamas captivity and described the terrifying abuse endured by another female hostage.
Agam recounts how a terrorist held a gun to the girl’s head, forced her clothes off, and sexually assaulted her in a bathroom.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Sandberg discussed Agam’s incredible strength and resilience in sharing what she witnessed. "She’s this beautiful 18-year-old girl living on a kibbutz, dedicated to peace…there’s no 18-year-old girl in the world who should have her world destroyed in that way."
Below is a clip of Sandberg’s interview with Agam, and her interview with CNN. The full documentary is set to be released in April.

House passes anti-BDS legislation
Tonight the House passed an AIPAC-backed bill to counter the BDS campaign against Israel.
The IGO Anti-Boycott Act (

H.R. 3016 ) helps combat BDS by expanding current laws targeting country-led Israel boycotts, to include boycotts by international governmental organizations.
This important legislation was introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ).
This morning, the Senate voted

70-29 on a broad bill that fully funds the president's $14.3 billion emergency aid request for Israel. Together, we have been lobbying Congress to pass this vital assistance to ensure Israel has the resources it needs to protect its families and win this war. The bill now goes to the House, and every indication is that the legislative process will be long and challenging.
Email your representative tonight and urge them to support this critical funding for Israel’s security.

Kirby: "We never said that they can’t go into Rafah."
Speaking today to reporters, White House spokesperson John Kirby

reiterated the administration’s position on the IDF’s continued operation in Gaza as it looks to defeat Hamas in its last stronghold of Rafah.
"We never said that they can’t go into Rafah to remove Hamas," Kirby said.
"Hamas remains a viable threat to the Israeli people. And the Israelis and the IDF, absolutely, are going to continue operations against their leadership and their infrastructure, as they should. We don’t want to see another October 7th."
IDF exposes Sinwar’s hideout beneath Gaza
Today Israeli troops published footage inside an underground bunker that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar used as his "main hideout." The shelter included bathrooms, a kitchen, and living quarters – and soldiers found a safe filled with millions of shekels in cash. The tunnel was also stocked with UNRWA food and aid meant for civilians in Gaza, along with weapons, ammunition, and explosives used by Hamas terrorists.
