Freed Hamas hostage: Netanyahu has 'forgotten' captives in Gaza
Aviva Siegel, who was released in November after 51 days in captivity, has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for putting crushing Hamas ahead of freeing the remaining hostages, one of whom is her husband, Keith.
An Israeli woman who was released by Hamas after weeks in captivity has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having “forgotten” the remaining hostages in Gaza, including her American husband.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Molly Hunter on Thursday, former hostage Aviva Siegel said she believes Netanyahu is prioritizing his own political survival and his bid to crush Hamas over efforts to return the hostages.
“I think that Bibi Netanyahu is thinking about himself more than thinking about us,” Siegel, 62, said.
Siegel, who was released in November after 51 days in captivity, said she wanted Netanyahu to “stop the war” and focus on bringing her husband, Keith Siegel, an American Israeli, back “home as soon as possible.”
But, she said, “I think that Netanyahu has forgotten about Keith and forgotten to be human and bring the human people back.”
