Bill > J00223

This resolution mourns the death of Omer Maxim Neutra, a 21-year-old American-Israeli soldier who was killed during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, near the kibbutz of Nir Oz in southern Israel. A native of Plainview, Long Island, Neutra was a tank platoon commander in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who had immigrated to Israel out of a deep commitment to the country. The resolution highlights his qualities as a natural leader, a warm and optimistic individual, and a talented athlete who served as captain of his school's sports teams. As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, Neutra embodied a legacy of strength and resilience, and had dreams of building peace. The legislative body honors his sacrifice, expresses condolences to his parents Ronen and Orna Neutra, and resolves to pause in its deliberations to mourn his tragic and untimely death, while also arranging to transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to his family.
