Several survivors of captivity in Gaza — including Yarden Bibas, Keith and Aviva Siegal, Tal Shoham, and others — appeared Sunday night on CBS’s 60 Minutes, calling for a renewed ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Also featured were Agam Berger, Liri Albag, and other IDF observers, some of whom joined via video call.
Bibas made an emotional plea to former U.S. President Donald Trump to help secure the release of the remaining 59 hostages.
“Please stop stop this war and help help bring all the hostages back,” he said. “I know he can help. I am here because of Trump; I’m here only because of him. I think he’s the only one who can stop this war again.”
“He has to convince [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] Netanyahu,” he added.
Speaking about his wife and two sons who were killed, Bibas said, “They were murdered in cold blood bare hands. They used to tell me ‘Um doesn’t matter. You get a new wife… Get new kids – better wife, better kids.'”
