President Donald Trump met with eight freed Israeli and American-Israeli hostages in the Oval Office on Wednesday, saying he was deeply moved by the experience and vowing to punish Hamas and Gaza generally if all are not released.
The hostages included Noa Argamani, Iair Horn, Naama Levy, Eli Sharabi, Omer Shem Tov, Aviva Siegel, Keith Siegel, and Doron Steinbrecher. Sharabi in particular appeared in better health than when he was released several weeks ago, appearing so emaciated that Trump had commented at the time that he looked like a Holocaust survivor.
The hostages thanked Trump profusely for helping to free them, and urged him to free the remaining hostages, roughly 60 of whom remain in Gaza. About two dozen of those are thought to still be alive; the rest are dead.
“We believe you have been sent by God” to release the remaining hostages, one hostage told the president.
