Footage reveals American and Israeli captives alive in Gaza

Hamas Releases New Video Showing Proof of Life of Hostages in Gaza

In a recent development, Hamas has released a video showing the first proof of life of two hostages being held in Gaza. The undated footage features Omri Miran and Keith Siegel, who were captured during Hamas’s deadly attacks on 7 October.

Omri Miran, who has been held captive for 202 days, and Keith Siegel, who mentions the Passover holiday, indicate that the clips were filmed recently. In response to the video, their families are urging the Israeli government to secure a new hostage release deal.

Keith Siegel, a US citizen, was kidnapped with his wife Aviva, who was freed in November during a brief truce. In a video statement, Aviva expressed her love for Keith and vowed to fight for his return. The daughters of Keith Siegel also spoke out, emphasizing the need to reach a deal and bring their father home.

The hostage video was shown at a weekly demonstration in Tel Aviv, where Dani Miran, Omri Miran’s father, made a powerful speech urging the government to secure a hostage deal. He specifically called out the National Security Minister and Finance Minister to take action.

The latest video follows another proof-of-life video released earlier this week, showing Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin. The families of the hostages are appealing for more to be done to secure their release.

As negotiations for a truce continue, Hamas is studying Israel’s latest proposal. The situation remains tense as both sides seek a resolution to the conflict.
