Freed Hostages Thank Trump, Urge Rescue Efforts

Recently freed Israeli hostages, including Iair Horn and Keith and Aviva Siegel, publicly thanked former President Donald Trump for his role in securing their release from Hamas captivity. During a National Republican Congressional Committee event, they praised Trump for prioritizing their rescue and successfully negotiating a ceasefire, which led to the release of 33 hostages. Keith Siegel, who endured 484 days in captivity, expressed profound gratitude, stating, 'You saved my life.' The hostages urged Trump to continue his efforts to free the remaining 59 captives still held in Gaza, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Trump acknowledged their ordeal, describing the conditions as 'unimaginable suffering' and reiterated his commitment to bringing the remaining hostages home. Trump's actions have been positively received by several Jewish leaders, contrasting with their dissatisfaction with President Biden's approach.
