The eight former hostages thanked US President Donald Trump and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff after meeting the American leader, adding that they stressed the urgency of returning the remaining captives still held in Gaza. They said Mr Trump and Mr Witkoff “made a deal possible, they got us all home”, Keith Siegel was quoted as saying in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. “We urged them to continue their enormous efforts. They have done so much. We trust them and we know they will get the job done to get all the rest of the 59 remaining hostages held in Gaza back to their families, back to Israel.”
