Doron Steinbacher, Eli Sharabi, Naama Levy, Yair Horn, Omer Shem Tov, and Keith and Aviva Siegel, who were released from Gaza in the latest hostage deal, have arrived in Washington. During their visit, the seven will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump and other senior officials in the American administration.
During these meetings, the freed hostages will share firsthand accounts of the horrors they endured in Hamas’ tunnels and emphasize the urgent need to secure the immediate and unconditional release of all remaining hostages.
Visit to the Hostage Headquarters
Yesterday, the six visited the Hostage Families Headquarters in Washington, where they learned about the ongoing efforts in the U.S. capital since October 7 to bring all the hostages home—both the living for rehabilitation and the fallen for proper burial.
“The Joy of Being Here”
The freed hostages wrote emotional personal messages on their posters, which were displayed at the headquarters. Omer Shem Tov, who was released from the hospital just last week, wrote: “How good it is just to be. Thank you for your prayers and hard work.” On the poster of Ori Danino, who saved his life before being himself murdered in captivity, he added: “My guardian angel. Thank you!”
Keith Siegel wrote: “I am grateful. You gave me the strength to survive.” Doron Steinbacher wrote on her picture: “Back home,” while Naama Levy added: “The joy of being here. Thank you all for your efforts!”
