Released Hamas hostage says Trump can bring home those still captive in Gaza
Published: 7/7/2025

American-Israeli former Hamas hostage Keith Siegel believes President Trump can secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza after his own release last month. Siegel, held captive for 484 days, praises Trump’s involvement in brokering a ceasefire deal before he took office. Netanyahu and Trump's meeting aims to advance a potential agreement, with Trump hoping for a new ceasefire and hostage release deal this week, although significant gaps remain between Israel and Hamas.
