Michal Herzog, the wife of President Isaac Herzog, meets with several released hostages and their family members.
She meets with released hostages Keith Siegel and Doron Steinbrecher, and the Families of Romi Gonen, Agam Berger and Emily Damari.
Herzog tells them that Israel is obligated to bring back all the hostages.
Aviva Siegel, Keith’s wife, who was also taken hostage and returned in an earlier hostage deal, tells Herzog there is an urgency to bring back all the captives.
“Hearing from Keith about what he went through, knowing that I was there too, and realizing that others are still being held—it’s unbearable, simply unbearable. We must bring them all home,” she says.
