Released hostage Aviva Seigel, who was taken captive from Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7, appeals for the return of the 136 hostages still in Gaza during a press conference.
Thanking the public for the support they have shown the hostages and their families, she says that the people of Israel are “one country, one family, [with] one destiny.”
“If we save the hostages we’ll have saved the State of Israel and that will be absolute victory,” she says, echoing the words of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said the same about eradicating Hamas from the Gaza Strip.
