The parents of a 19-year-old American citizen who has been held captive by Hamas for over a year are calling on President-elect Donald Trump to help secure the release of their son and the other hostages. Despite efforts from the U.S. government and the Biden administration, negotiations have stalled and minimal progress has been made. The parents believe that Trump's leadership and experience in the Middle East, as demonstrated by the Abraham Accords, make him well-positioned to resolve the crisis. They urge Trump to prioritize the hostage situation and use all available diplomatic, economic, and political tools to pressure Hamas and its allies.
