Families of Israeli hostages maintain optimism during tumultuous negotiations


Negotiators are close to finalizing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, with President Biden indicating that a deal is close to being reached. Families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza for over a year are hopeful that their loved ones will soon be released. Of the 251 hostages kidnapped, 94 remain in captivity, with 34 having died. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum sees any deal as a positive step towards a comprehensive agreement. Prime Minister Netanyahu has faced backlash for the negotiations, as some believe the proposed ceasefire is a surrender to Hamas. Israeli officials are working on a plan where the first hostages would be released 48 hours after the ceasefire takes effect. Despite the progress towards a deal, there are concerns about the conditions hostages are facing and the impact of the conflict on the people of Gaza. Aviva Siegel, a former hostage, believes the deal must succeed to bring a halt to the violence that has resulted in many casualties. The ceasefire could potentially put an end to the fighting that began after terror attacks on October 7, resulting in a high number of casualties on both sides. The families of the hostages are eager for a resolution, hoping that the negotiations will lead to the safe return of their loved ones.
