In the 45 days since October 7, the day the barbaric Hamas terrorist attack hit the State of Israel, Argentine soccer broadcaster Hernán Feller has opened every broadcast with a speech calling for the release of Israeli hostages from Gaza, including his aunt Ophelia. Now he is no longer alone in his country.

On Sunday, Argentine-Jewish sports journalist Nico Singer joined the public demand for the release of the hostages, and even called on the heads of his country's football association to act on the issue. In front of the cameras, he said: "The Argentine FA would do well to launch a campaign for the 20 Argentines who were kidnapped on October 7 by the Hamas terror organization, which invaded Israel to commit a massacre."
Singer explained that "we need to be committed to this campaign" and said, "I spoke from the heart about this painful issue." Although he referred mainly to the 20 abducted Argentinian citizens, he regularly raises awareness of all the abductees in Gaza on social media. He also recently shared a film by the Israel Football Association, in which the national team's players take to the pitch empty-handed. Watch him address the heads of the Argentine FA live.
