Goldberg-Polin has continued to campaign for the release of all the remaining hostages and believes a deal is closer than ever. There are 42 hostages who were taken alive and survived for hundreds of days and were killed in captivity. So we get very nervous, and we're also very aware. As you know, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza who are also in this horrific situation. We have such a surplus of suffering in this neck of the woods, and we are desperate for the decision makers and the people of power to make it end. How do you have that empathy? If you only cry when one side's babies die, it means your moral compass is broken, and therefore your humanity is broken.

Is healing possible? RACHEL GOLDBERG-POLIN: I think there is light ahead. I think that there is a path forward. I see it with myself after such a monumental loss. I will limp for the rest of my life, but I can limp toward the light. And are you limping towards the light? I am. I want all of us in this region, whether it's crawling or hopping or limping, or eventually there will be people running toward the light. We have to go forward. We must. Limping towards the light. My goodness. That's Debora Patta. Thank you.
