Freed Hostage Alon Ohel Plays Aboard USS Nimitz

Ynetnews published at 19:44 IDT, after Hebrew Ynet posted at 19:36, that freed hostage Alon Ohel performed aboard the USS Nimitz during America's 250th Independence Day events. The report says Ohel played piano beside John Ondrasik, Five for Fighting, before senior U.S. government and military guests, hours after he was briefly delayed in New York because U.S. systems still listed him as a Gaza hostage. Five for Fighting's own post and Ambassador Jeff Bartos's X post place Ohel on the carrier; eJewishPhilanthropy listed the planned International Naval Review performance. It is a people story with national meaning: a Hamas survivor carrying Israeli resilience onto an American military deck.
