Former US vice president Kamala Harris welcomes the release of American-Israeli citizen Keith Siegel and the other Israeli hostages released on Saturday by Hamas as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip.
“Doug and I are full of joy and relief to see American Keith Siegel reunited with his family,” Harris tweets, referring to her husband Douglas Emhoff.
“We join all those around the world who are celebrating his release and the release of other hostages in recent days and weeks. We continue to pray for the Americans and all of the remaining hostages held in captivity in Gaza by Hamas. We stand with them and their families. All the hostages must be brought home.”
