Protesters in Washington took out a rally on Sunday (April 7) demanding his release. Family members of the hostages were also present at the rally, including Keith's daughter Ellen Siegel and hostage Aviva Siegel. Aviva, released after 51 days, spoke at the rally. He said that I have no human rights. I didn't think I would survive but I came back.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, who was at the rally, reportedly said he planned to meet with the Biden administration. “We have to do everything possible to bring them back home,” Lapid said. According to a team of UN experts, Hamas gunmen entered Israel on October 7 and killed 1,200 people and sexually assaulted some victims.
Israeli civilians were freed in the agreement
The gunmen also took 253 people hostage, including children and the elderly, civilians and soldiers. About half of them were released under a deal in late November. Talks resumed on Sunday to reach a second ceasefire in Egypt. Dozens of remaining hostages are expected to be freed under the agreement. According to health officials, more than 33,000 people have been killed in Israel's retaliatory attacks in Gaza.
