ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has promised to utilize his celebrity status for good and has sent a particular message of support to the families of Israeli hostages who are currently being held captive by Hamas thugs.
While many survivors of the October 7 massacre are still waiting to be reunited with their loved ones, the legendary Hollywood star spoke with heroic survivors.

Just because the cease-fire has expired, Schwarzenegger urged the world not to give up on any of the hostages who are still imprisoned 57 days after they were initially abducted from their families.
The renowned actor from Terminator and former California governor, who survived the horrific massacre that left thousands dead and hundreds injured or kidnapped, talked with three survivors.
He spoke with the families of those kidnapped by Hamas goons on the day of the planned attack, and they related to Arnie tales of that horrible day and memories of loved ones still in captivity.
According to Red Cross estimates, the Israeli assault from land, air, and sea has caused about 1.5 million residents to evacuate south.
The number of fatalities is yet unknown, but according to Hamas health officials, over 11,000 civilians—including over 4,500 children—have died.

Schwarzenegger is heard expressing his unwavering support for the Israeli people, who have been severely impacted by the tragic events in Gaza over the past two months, in a touching video that has been circulated online.
Schwarzenegger invited guests to participate in the conversation on December 1 at his private home in Santa Monica, California, in order to help spread the word about support.
“I am a big friend of Jewish people and Israel,” Arnie declares at the beginning of his opening speech, to a thunderous applause.
In the video, Schwarzenegger talks about the “sad and horrific stories” he’s heard about the war from survivors and family members he’s met while sitting among his previous bodybuilding trophies.
Among them is Bar Rudaeff, whose father Lior, aged 61, was abducted from a kibbutz amid the horrific October 7 attacks.
