The Woman Fighting to Keep Israel’s Hostages
in the World’s Eye.

Ad exec Dorit Gvili has made it her mission to make sure hostage families’ voices are heard, and that Israel's hostages are not forgotten..
On the evening of October 8, Dorit Gvili sat in her Tel Aviv living room riveted to the television watching a heartbreaking press conference where family members of Israeli hostages called for their immediate return.
As one father broke down pleading for the release of his daughter, Gvili knew she could not just sit there and do nothing.
“It was clear to me that if those people’s voices would not be heard, they would be forgotten,” said Gvili, 46, COO of Publicis Groupe Israel advertising group.
“I knew those people needed to be rescued, their voice needed to be heard. And that is what I would try to do.”
