I\u2019m just \u2062going to figure it out.\u2019 And that\u2019s exactly what we did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But that is the exact predicament she found herself in when her co-worker, Silver Point, sent her a\u200d message that she\u200d was trapped in Israel\u2063 with no way home earlier in October.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI had been to Israel before,\u201d Silver\u2062 Prout said. \u2064\u201cWe went downward \u200calong\u2063 the Gaza Strip.\u200b Israel\u2019s \u200bno stranger to threats\u2062 and attacks,\u2063 but in\u200c my heart of hearts, I knew this\u2062 was different.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prout was in Israel on vacation with a tour company called Trans-Global Travel when\u200c the terror group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. Prout reached out to Knight \u2063and U.S. House of Representatives candidate Abe Hamadeh\u2062 for \u2063help.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201c[Hamadeh] was very clear,\u201d Knight\u200c said. \u201cHe was an intelligence officer in Saudi \u200bArabia for \u200ba long time.\u2063 He served\u2064 under\u2062 Trump and Biden. And so \u200bhe said, you need to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prout says \u2063the State Department\u200c was radio silent\u200c for three straight days.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe\u200b attacks happened,\u201d Prout said. \u201cThe\u2064 State Department was \u200cclosed \u2064Saturday. Sunday, \u2064they were closed.\u200d And \u2062then Monday,\u2063 it\u2019s a U.S. holiday. So \u2062again, we got an out of office \u2064message that they would be back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prout says her group got \u2063in contact with the\u200c State Department the Tuesday following the \u200bsurprise attacks from Hamas,\u200d but the department recommended they \u201cwork with an airline\u201d \u200dto get\u2063 home safely.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cMy question \u200bwas, \u2018Well, how,\u2019\u201d Prout said. \u201c\u2018Like all of\u200d our\u2062 flights keep\u200b getting canceled.\u2019 And we see obviously Iceland, \u2064Brazil, \u200band the initial reports that they were getting their\u200c citizens out. And \u200bmy response was the United\u200d States\u200d of America should have \u2064been the first \u2063one on\u200b the ground to start evacuating\u2064 their citizens the\u2064 moment this happened. And now they\u2019re one of the\u2063 last.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWhile the\u200c State Department has initiated evacuation flights, there \u200cis one important caveat \u200bto that,\u201d Prout said. \u201cYou have to sign on the dotted line that you will pay the\u200c United States \u2063government back before they \u200cevacuate you, which \u200cis crazy to me. I don\u2019t\u2063 remember us asking Ukraine to \u2064sign a promissory\u2062 note, and we have given \u200dthem billions. So why are we asking United States\u2062 citizens, \u200dwho are stuck \u2062in a war zone, to please pay the United States \u2062government back before we\u2063 can get help?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But Knight sprung into action, enlisting the help of\u2062 her friends in media publications to \u2064get the word out\u200d about Prout and her \u2064group.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe were really just \u2064trying to put pressure\u200b on the [Biden Administration],\u2063 because, in \u200cmy \u2064experience, sometimes you can do these\u2064 things and use the media to get the \u2064government to actually \u2063act. And that was sort of our frustration at the time. \u200cOther countries were rescuing their citizens and [our government was] doing nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Knight says that Florida Representative Cory Mills (R-Fla.)\u2062 had seen \u2062the story and was on his way to Israel. Mills picked \u2063up her and numerous other Americans\u200c on that trip.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWhen \u200bthis administration fails, it\u2019s \u2064people\u2062 like my friend Erica,\u201d Prout said. \u201cIt\u2019s people like Congressman Mills. \u2064They step up to bat. They do \u2062what needs to be done, and they do what this administration\u200b has\u200d failed to \u200cdo, which is \u2064help American citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI never really thought in my wildest dreams that a \u2062Florida \u2063Congressman\u200c would \u2064see these stories and start going to\u2062 actually \u200crescue people himself,\u201d\u200c Knight\u200d said. \u200b\u201cObviously now we\u2019ve seen that Cory Mills is quite a brave and patriotic American that is willing to do \u2062that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At the\u200c end of the day, Prout was grateful to be home and safe.\u2063 And \u200dshe says that\u2064 wouldn\u2019t have happened without \u2063Knight and Mills.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThank\u2064 God \u2064for \u2064them,\u201d\u200b Prout said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stay informed!

As a publicist\u200c with no previous experience\u200c in evacuation efforts, Knight\u200b found herself thrust into a situation where she \u200dhad to navigate complex \u200dlogistics and ensure the safety of\u2064 her stranded co-worker and\u200c their group.<\/p>\n<p>Knight&#8217;s initial struggle to\u2064 figure out \u2063what to do reflects the lack \u200cof preparedness and foresight on the part \u200cof the State Department. When her\u2064 co-worker, Silver Prout, reached out for \u2064help, Knight took it upon herself to find a solution. Despite the State Department being\u2063 unresponsive for\u2063 three days, Knight and \u200bProut were able to\u200c establish contact and were advised to work with \u200can airline to secure their return home.<\/p>\n<p>However, this solution \u2063proved to be challenging as flight cancellations and limited options hindered their efforts. The frustration of\u2062 Prout and her group is palpable, as \u200dthey witnessed other countries \u200cswiftly evacuating their citizens while the \u2064United States \u200clagged\u2064 behind. Furthermore, the requirement by the United States government\u2063 for citizens to sign a promissory note to repay their evacuation expenses is seen as\u200c an unnecessary burden\u2063 in a time of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Knight&#8217;s\u2064 resourcefulness in\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/publicist-works-with-cory-mills-to-rescue-american-citizens-in-israel-biden-administration-mia\/\" title=\"Publicist aids Cory Mills in rescuing US citizens in Israel, Biden admin missing.\">enlisting media support showcases<\/a> \u2064the power of activism and advocacy \u2063in influencing government action.
