Summary

As some hostages, return, others remain in the shadow – Dr. Phil continues the urgent conversation with families still waiting for their loved ones to come home.

In this powerful Part 2 episode, Dr. Phil returns to the human cost of October 7th Hamas attacks with families still trapped in the agony of uncertainty. Keith Siegel, once held hostage, shares emotional memories with Lishay, the wife of fellow captive Omri Miran, who remains in Gaza. Illay David opens up about his brother Evyatar’s abduction form the Nova music festival – still no word, no return. And Bar Godard shares her heartbreaking story: both her parents were murdered, and her father’s body is still being held by Hamas. #BringThemHomeNow
