Doron Steinbrecher, who was released on January 19 after more than 15 months in Hamas captivity, will make her first public statement tonight at a rally for the hostages.
According to the Hostage Family Forum, a video from Steinbrecher will be played at the main rally in Tel Aviv.
Her mother Simona Steinbrecher and sister Yamit Ashkenazi are slated to speak, as will Yair Moses, son of Gadi Moses who was released on Thursday.
The rally comes after three hostages, Yarden Bibas, Ofer Calderon and Keith Siegel, were released as part of the first phase of the hostage-ceasefire deal.
“The entire country watched emotionally today as Ofer, Yarden, and Keith were reunited with their families. Along with this joy, we will not stop until we see all hostages return home — the living for rehabilitation and the deceased for proper burial,” says the forum.
