Welcome Home: American Hostage Freed in Israel-Gaza Ceasefire Deal

Imagine being held captive for over 15 months, away from your loved ones, in a foreign land. That was the reality for 65-year-old American-Israeli Keith Seagull, who was recently released as part of the Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal.

A Long Wait Finally Over

Seagull, along with two other male hostages, was greeted with cheers and tears of joy as they were set free in Gaza City. The crowd erupted into applause as Seagull, looking slightly thinner but undeniably relieved, waved to the awaiting crowd.

• Seagull’s wife, Aviva, who was also kidnapped with him in 2023, spoke of his eventual release in September, promising that he would be treated like a king upon his return.
• Seagull’s release marks a moment of relief and hope for his family, friends, and supporters who have been waiting for this day to come.

An Emotional Reunion

After being separated for so long, the moment Seagull reunites with his wife and son is sure to be filled with overwhelming emotions. The feeling of finally being back home and safe is a priceless moment that no one should ever have to experience.

Support from Around the World

The release of Seagull and the other hostages is a testament to the power of diplomacy and international cooperation. It shows that even in times of conflict, there can be moments of peace and reconciliation.

Let us take this moment to appreciate the strength and courage of Keith Seagull and his family, and to continue working towards a world where freedom and peace prevail for all.

Remember, no matter how dark the night may seem, there is always a dawn of hope waiting to break through.
