It's a difficult day for us again as a family. We want to see him home. My sister wants to hug him. My nieces want to run to him and spend time with him again. But he's not expected to return anytime soon. But at the same time, I'm so happy for the families of the three hostages who will be released. So grateful that hopefully they'll be released and be able to rehabilitate and recover.

We're one big family, the families of hostages, and I know all these families very well. I'm embracing them today, but our battle doesn't end. And I just returned from D.C. yesterday after campaigning there with the administration, with Congress. Hoping to make sure they understand we have to pressure all stakeholders until all the hostages are home.

Yes, this is good news, but we have to monitor the situation. We have to ensure that our own government in Israel abides to what it promises us, which is negotiating the second phase. We have to ensure that Hamas, their accomplices and their sponsors, countries like Qatar, Iran and Turkey, force Hamas to the table.
