After his release from Gaza, Amazon finally says hostage Troufanov was an employee
|
[IsraelTimes] Over 16 months after Sasha Troufanov was abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023, global retail platform for the first time publicly acknowledges he worked on Amazon Web Services team
Global retail giant Amazon on Saturday finally broke its silence about a Russian-Israeli employee who was kidnapped by Hamas
 ..always the voice of sweet reason...
on October 7, 2023.
In a message to Amazon employees upon the release of Sasha Troufanov on Saturday morning, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy for the first time acknowledged Troufanov’s role in the company.
Troufanov, 29, was released from Hamas captivity along with Sagui Dekel-Chen and Iair Horn as part of phase one of a mediated ceasefire-hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas. He was informed upon his release that his father was murdered during the Paleostinian terror group’s brutal October 7 attack, and burst into tears at the news.
Troufanov had been working at Amazon Web Services as an electrical engineer at the time of his capture. The company has faced criticism for declining to acknowledge that an employee was taken hostage by Hamas.
In a letter published after Troufanov returned to Israel, Jassy told employees that he was "incredibly relieved" that Troufanov had been released from captivity, and that Amazon had been silently acting on his behalf.
"Since we learned of Sasha and his family’s abduction, we’ve had a dedicated team working behind the scenes with experts to support efforts to secure their release and to ensure that we did the right thing for them and their safety," Jassy wrote. This included "painfully not commenting publicly for fear that we would negatively impact their ability to be released or how they were treated in captivity," he added.
Troufanov, now 29, was visiting his family at Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel when he, his mother, his grandmother, and his girlfriend were taken captive by Hamas on October 7, 2023. His father was killed by forces of Evil in the attack.
Troufanov’s mother, grandmother, and girlfriend were released during a weeklong ceasefire in November 2023. Troufanov was released on Saturday after 498 days.
"It’s been an extremely trying time for everybody who knows and cares for Sasha — a lot of angst and feelings of helplessness," wrote Amazon’s 57-year-old Jewish CEO. "But, it can’t approach what Sasha and his family have been through, and we will continue to support them and do everything we can to help them heal."
Some 1,200 people were murdered and 251 taken captive, mostly civilians, when thousands of Hamas-led forces of Evil burst across the border into Israel by land, air and sea on October 7, 2023.
Seventy of the 251 hostages kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, including the bodies of at least 35 confirmed dead by the IDF.
