Rivka Bohbot, wife of hostage Elkana, told ynet after U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement about a hostage deal that "for two years I've been fighting for my husband's life - for his return, for our home, for hope. This is a moment when a small child will return to hug his father, a moment when my family has come back to life. A moment when an entire country chooses my husband and all the hostages. A moment marking the beginning of the end of pain. Until the last male and female hostage."
