The Hamas terror group on Saturday published a video of hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran, who were kidnapped from their homes on October 7.
The Siegel and Miran families have confirmed the release and publication of the video showing their loved ones for the first time after 204 days in captivity.
“The proof of life from Keith Siegel and Omri Miran is the clearest evidence that the Israeli government must do everything to approve a deal for the return of all the hostages before Independence Day,” the families said. “The living should return for rehabilitation, and the murdered should receive a dignified burial.”
“Now is the time for the government and its leader to prove through actions their commitment to the citizens of Israel who await the return of the hostages. The Israeli government must not miss this opportunity to bring them all home!”
At Saturday night’s rally, Dani Miran, father of Omri Miran, spoke about the video, saying, “This evening I stand here emotional. This evening in which I watched, together with all the people of Israel, the moving video of my son Omri and of Keith Seigel. What did Omri ask for? To be with us on Independence Day? What did I ask for? That Omri and all the hostages to be with us?”
“Sinwar released this video, the video shook me and all the people of Israel.
“Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu and the Cabinet, please approve any viable deal. Take one small and bloodless step for both peoples. Show humanity and you will find that our Cabinet will be with you, I am convinced of this. All the people of Israel and the nations of the world want to see an end to the bloodshed and especially an end to the suffering of your people. Please, one request – make a decision now!”
