Hamas has released an American-Israeli hostage, Keith Siegel, under a truce deal with Israel. Siegel was abducted in October 2023 along with his wife, who was previously freed in a cease-fire. The hostage was handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza City, with armed militants present. The current cease-fire was reached after over a year of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli authorities believe that two other American-Israeli hostages are still alive and will be released in the coming weeks.
