Former Israeli hostage Emily Damari has criticized the Pulitzer board for awarding its prize to a New Yorker writer who made anti-Semitic remarks about her and another female Israeli captive in a column on social media, labeling him a 'modern-day Holocaust denier'. Damari claims the writer's article was 'a direct attack' on her and fellow captive, Leah Goodman. The Pulitzer Prize board has yet to comment on the controversy. The incident has sparked outrage among Jewish groups and advocates for victims of anti-Semitism.
