The families of American hostages held in Gaza are concerned that the remaining captives, including six Americans, will not survive the winter. They are urging President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration to secure their release before Trump takes office in January. The families have been unsuccessful in their efforts to secure meetings with Trump or members of his incoming administration. They are hopeful that Trump can have a 'Reagan moment' and secure the hostages' release on his first day in office. The families are actively seeking meetings with members of the transition team to discuss their case.
