The Hostages and Missing Families Forum releases a statement with the Shehecheyanu prayer in response to US President Donald Trump’s announcement that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted his plan to end the war in Gaza and release captives held by Hamas.

“Shehecheyanu ve-kiy’manu ve-higi’anu la-z’man ha-zeh,” the forum writes.

The Shehecheyanu prayer is a Jewish blessing that expresses appreciation for new and special experiences.
