The dying mother of Noa Argamani – a young woman abducted by Hamas terrorists on the back of a motorcycle – has issued a painful video plea to see her daughter before cancer takes her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liora Argamani, who is currently battling stage four brain cancer, called on President Biden and the Red Cross to intervene, as she told her daughter: ‘If I don’t get to see you… please know I love you very much’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noa, 26, an only child, was snatched at the Supernova music festival during the Hamas incursion of\u00a0Israel\u00a0on October 7 and filmed begging for her life on the back of the bike, screaming ‘Don’t kill me!’<\/p>\n
The footage, which was widely shared online, brought a wave of insufferable\u00a0bone-chilling dread for Liora,\u00a0as she was forced to watch her daughter suffer alongside the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
‘Hello, I am Liora Argamani,’ she said to the camera today, seated in a large leather chair with posters of her abducted daughter adorned in the background, ‘the mother of Noa Argamani, the beautiful girl who was kidnapped on October 7 by Hamas to Gaza.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liora Argamani (right) fears she will not live long enough to see her only child, Noa, 26, who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Noa was seen being driven away on a motorbike and across the desert by Hamas terrorists<\/p>\n
‘I have cancer, brain cancer,’ she said from family\u2019s temporary apartment in Tel Aviv, near her cancer treatment clinic.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t know how long I have left. I wish for the chance to see my Noa, at home.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘I call upon President Biden and the Red Cross to bring back my Noa as soon as possible so that I get the chance to see her.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Noa, if I don’t get to see you… please know that I love you very much. Please know that we did everything we could to get you released. The whole world loves you.’<\/p>\n So far, eighty-one hostages held in Gaza have been released, seven weeks after being taken captive during the 7 October attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n Sixty Israeli women and children were freed as part of a deal between Israel and Hamas, while a Russian-Israeli man not included in the deal was also freed by Hamas.<\/p>\n Nineteen Thai hostages and one Filipino were released as part of a separate deal between Hamas and the Egyptian government.<\/p>\n In addition, prior to the deals struck with Hamas, a further four Israeli hostages were released, and another was freed by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n On Tuesday 28 November, 10 Israeli and two Thai hostages were freed by Hamas.<\/p>\n Under the exchange, 180 Palestinian have been released from Israeli jails – plus hundreds of lorries of humanitarian aid, medical supplies and fuel have been allowed into Gaza.<\/p>\n But the pain-staking wait continues for Liora.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This video, which circulated on social media, allegedly shows Noa in captivity in Gaza<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Noa’s father, Yakov, says doctors have told the family his wife, Liora, does not have long to live<\/p>\n Earlier this week, she told the Mail on Sunday that she is only asking for one thing before she deteriorates.<\/p>\n ‘My one wish would be to hug and see Noa before something happens to me due to my medical condition, which would mean I won’t be able to.<\/p>\n \u00a0‘I know she is a strong girl. We’re waiting for her. Only the thought of her coming home keeps me strong.’<\/p>\n Liora is battling stage 4 brain cancer and her husband Yakov says that doctors don’t have hope.<\/p>\n ‘I don’t want to elaborate but it’s not good. The doctors haven’t given a good prognosis, but I believe it’s in God’s hands. I believe it will be OK.’<\/p>\n Aside from a photo of Noa drinking water in what appeared to be Gaza that was posted in a Hamas telegram channel, the family have had no news of her safety.<\/p>\n ‘We don’t know anything more than what the media has reported. All we saw is the footage of Noa being kidnapped and then sitting on the sofa with a bottle of water.’<\/p>\n At his home in Tel Aviv the Argamanis are surrounded by friends and family who have arranged for a song to be performed in honour of Noa and her boyfriend Avi Natan, who was also abducted from the Nova festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the walls are photos of the handsome couple, including the Mail on Sunday’s front page headline, ‘Don’t kill me.’ which sits on an empty chair, symbolising her absence.<\/p>\n \u00a0Liora is too weak to join the family and friends in the living room and Yakov can’t help but sob.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Along with hundreds of other young Israelis, Noa (pictured) had been enjoying a peace festival in the desert when they were forced to flee for their lives\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her boyfriend, Avi Nathan, distraught and helpless, was also seen on video being kidnapped<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A photograph taken earlier this year of Avi Natan, who was also abducted from the Nova festival<\/p>\n ‘I’m going through the most difficult period of my life. Before Oct 7 I weighed 10 kilos more than I do now.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘The thoughts I have would rip you apart. And this is on top of my wife’s poor state of health. It’s hard to digest all of this.’<\/p>\n ‘As the only child, Noa is the person that organised her mother’s care, her doctors, her medicine and everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘She had a tough year as she was studying at university and yet she still looked after mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Now Noa is away, it’s our responsibility to look after her family until she comes back.’ says Noa’s childhood friend Yan Gorjaltsan.<\/p>\nREAD MORE:\u00a0Innocent victims snatched by Hamas: Student, 25, screams ‘don’t kill me!’ as she is kidnapped from a rave by militants who also nab mother, 34, and her two young girls in terrifying series of raids into Israel – leaving Middle East on brink of all-out war<\/h3>\n
