Summary

Aviva Siegel has not seen her husband Keith in a year, a separation made more painful by the fact that she knows firsthand what her husband is going through. Siegel was hostage in Gaza with her husband for 51 days before being freed in a hostage deal. Kept underground in Hamas tunnels, Siegel describes her capacity as “hell.” “I touched death, and that's one of the hardest things on earth,” Siegel said. “While we were lying there, I was trying to think, what is it going to feel like? Am I going to die before Keith? And just prayed that I'd die first because I did not want to see Keith suffer.” Siegel sits down with The Daily Signal to share her harrowing experience as a hostage in Gaza, and to call for her husband’s freedom. Following the conversation with Siegel, Yarden Gonen and Amit Levy join the show to share about their siblings, Romi Gonen, 24, and Naama Levy, 20, who were taken hostage on Oct. 7. The two young women are among 10 females still believed to be alive and being held hostage by Hamas.
