As the long-awaited cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel goes into effect, the family of murdered hostage Omer Neutra is hopeful the plan will help families like their own close a long and painful chapter in their lives.

“Of course, we waited very long for this moment. On the other hand, we still want to make sure that we’re going to get closure and start, maybe at that point, rebuilding our lives after two years,” Omer’s dad, Ronen, told The Post.

“One of those years has been thinking that Omer is alive, and the second year is not getting him and not knowing his whereabouts and whether we get him and when.”

Their son’s body remains in Gaza.

Omer, a 21-year-old Israel Defense Forces captain from Plainview, Long Island, was murdered by Hamas fighters on Oct. 7, 2023 — the day Hamas launched a cowardly sneak-attack against Israel, killing over 1,200 people.

The family went 421 agonizing days without word about the fate of their son before learning of his murder.

The young soldier was initially believed to have been taken alive by the terrorists before his heartbroken parents learned that he had been killed in the initial attack and his body was taken into Gaza.

“There are two American Israeli deceased IDF soldiers that we feel the American government should prioritize. Americans deserve to get their hostages,” Ronen said in reference to his own son and 19-year-old IDF soldier Itay Chen.

The family hasn’t gotten answers yet on when or how Omer’s remains will be returned home, but they have been in conversations with several officials.

“We’re pressing to bring this whole ordeal to some kind of an ending for us,” he said. “It’s two years. It’s too much.”

While hopeful, he added that they don’t know if they will get Omer home at all.

“We don’t know if there is any knowledge on any of the sides as to Omer’s whereabouts, when he’s going to come out, if anybody knows where he is,” the father said. “We’re very stressed. It’s a very stressful time for us. In Israel, there are huge celebrations on the ending of the war and getting the live hostages. For the deceased hostage families, it’s a very mixed feeling.”

Still, Ronen praised President Trump, whom the family met with at the White House Tuesday afternoon for a one-on-one meeting with the commander in chief, a day before he brokered the historic cease-fire.

“We told him, if this happens, it’s incredible. He’s going to do the impossible,” he said.

The Long Island dad previously said Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize if he can pull off a lasting peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

However, the anguished father admitted the news of the deal is bittersweet and said he’s concerned about the safe retrieval of the 48 remaining hostages in Gaza — of which 20 could still be alive.

“Even though it’s a remarkable time, our story doesn’t have a happy ending, no matter what,” Ronen said. “So with that, we have very mixed feelings, and we’re still very much worried and in touch with administration officials, both here and in Israel, pressing the importance of bringing the last hostage until all of them are back.”
