Emily Damari is a British-Israeli former hostage held by Hamas for over 15 months following her abduction during the October 7 attacks on southern Israel. Her captivity and eventual release under a ceasefire deal received extensive international media coverage and became a focal point for advocacy and public campaigns in both the UK and Israel. Her mother, Mandy Damari, led a widely publicized campaign for her release, drawing attention from the British Prime Minister, sports fans, and the broader public.
