Relatives of Keith Siegel and Omri Miran hold a press conference to call for an immediate agreement to return the hostages held by a Hamas, after the terror group issued a new propaganda video featuring the two of them.

Elan Siegel, daughter of hostage Keith Siegel: “18 world leaders sent a letter saying they demand the immediate release of all hostages and I want to ask everyone to stop talking and start taking action.

“We are losing people who are alive now and there is no time to waste,” says Elan Siegel. “We also know a deal is possible.”

Omri Miran’s wife calls for her husband to be released so he can be reunited with their two young daughters.

“No child should be forced to grow up with a distant memory of their father captured in a picture,” says Lishay Lavi-Miran.

She adds: “Let us finalize the deal that is on the table to bring home the hostages, end the hostilities, agree on a ceasefire, and allow us to celebrate our Israeli Independence Day next month with our loved ones reunited right here in Israel.”
