They were taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a small farming community near Israel\u2019s border with Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Palestinian militants released his wife, Aviva, during a short-lived cease-fire in November 2023, and she has since been campaigning for her husband\u2019s freedom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Siegel, a North Carolina native, immigrated in 1980 to Israel, where he has worked as an occupational therapist. He and his wife have nine children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a statement on Saturday, the White House said that the Trump administration had worked hard to secure Mr. Siegel\u2019s release and affirmed that it was committed to the freedom of all remaining hostages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In June, Mr. Siegel\u2019s brother, Lee Siegel, described the agony of watching rounds of cease-fire talks, only to have his hopes be dashed days later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly frustrating to have this yo-yo experience once again,\u201d Lee said at the time. \u201cEvery day that goes by, it becomes exponentially more difficult to continue with hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The current cease-fire was reached after more than a year of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, Leora Schwartz, Lee\u2019s sister-in law, said she felt some relief in seeing Keith walk out of captivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou feel like you can breathe again,\u201d she said in a phone interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, congregants at Beth El Synagogue in Durham, North Carolina, had been anxiously waiting to hear news of Mr. Siegel\u2019s release. The interim rabbi, Rachel Posner, said that Mr. Siegel\u2019s mother, Gladys, was one of the matriarchs of the synagogue. She passed away in December, meaning her son did not have a chance to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli authorities have said they believe that only two other American-Israeli hostages are still living. One is expected to be freed in the coming four weeks, and the other in the second phase of the cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli authorities have said they believe that Palestinian militants in Gaza are holding four bodies of dual American-Israeli citizens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hamas and Israel have not yet negotiated the details of the second phase of the cease-fire, but those talks are expected to start in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Relatives of hostages scheduled to come out in the second phase have expressed concerns that Israel could return to war against Hamas after the first phase if the militant group does not agree to give up its control over Gaza. They worry that such a scenario could endanger their loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async
