Seinfeld, wearing a symbolic dog tag around his neck meant to draw attention to the plight of the hostages, waved to a camera as he got into a van following the meeting, but did not comment.
The channel says the Jewish-American entertainer plans to visit the southern border region and possibly meet with Israeli soldiers.
