US embassy welcomes release of Keith Siegel, other hostages

The US Embassy in Jerusalem welcomes the release of Keith Siegel, an American-Israeli citizen, from Hamas captivity.

“Today I join Aviva, her children, grandchildren and the entire Siegel family in breathing a huge sigh of relief that fellow American Keith is finally home after 484 agonizing days in Hamas captivity,” writes Chargé d’Affaires ad interim Stephanie Hallett.

“I’m elated to see Ofer Calderon and Yarden Bibas also released today. We won’t rest until all the hostages come home,” she says.
