Hamas Announces Release of First American Hostage from Gaza

Hamas has announced the impending release of American-Israeli citizen Keith Siegel on Saturday, fulfilling a provision of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement. He is the first American hostage taken during Hamas’ October 7th, 2023 attacks to be freed under the deal.

Siegel and his wife, Aviva, were captured during Hamas’ October 7th, 2023, offensive. Aviva Siegel was previously released in November 2023 as part of an earlier stage of the ceasefire and hostage exchange.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
