Mengistu family meets with Trump's special envoy in Washington: 'Outrageous Hamas will not let him return home'
The family of Abera Mengistu, who has been held by Hamas in Gaza for over three years, visited the White House on Wednesday and met with Jason Greenblatt, US President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East.
"It is outrageous that Hamas will not let him return home or communicate with his family," Greenblatt wrote on Twitter after the meeting. He also conducted a prayer in both Hebrew and English for Mengistu's return home.
The Mengistu family also attended the Jewish Federations of North America's General Assembly in Los Angeles, where they also met with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. The family is expected to visit the United Nations in the coming days.
