In remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, US President Donald Trump praises former hostage Noa Argamani — who is in attendance — for the “unwavering strength, and courage and faith” that kept her going throughout her captivity in Gaza.
“For 245 harrowing days, Noa showed unwavering strength and courage and faith as she endured the unendurable,” Trump says. “But by the grace of God, she was rescued by the Israel Defense Forces and now she’s come back to pray with us this morning.”
“You’re really an inspiration, Noa, to all of us,” Trump says, adding that it is “such an honor” to have her join the event.
“As president, I will not rest until every remaining hostage has been returned to their families,” Trump says.
