NY Post "At least two American hostages are expected to be freed from Hamas in the first phase of the newly announced cease-fire deal between the terror group and Israel.
"Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, and Keith Siegel, 65, were both included on a list of 33 hostages Hamas agreed to free if the deal, revealed Wednesday, is ratified by the Israeli government when it convenes Thursday morning.
Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, will also be released
in the first phase of the deal.
"They are believed to be among the last three surviving Americans still held by Hamas
"The surviving Americans’ conditions remain unclear. The first wave of hostages expected to be released are supposed to focus on women, children, men over 50, and the sick and the wounded.
"Siegel was abducted along with his wife Aviva from Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists swept into Israel and made off with at least 250 hostages and killed around 1,200 people.
"The couple were kept in captivity together for 51 days, before Aviva developed a dangerous stomach infection and was released as part of the first cease-fire deal in November 2023.
"“I just don’t know what kind of Keith that we’re going to get back,” Aviva told Fox News in December." . . .
