Hostage survivors Keith and Aviva Siegel, who were kidnapped from their home in Kfar Aza and released in separate deals, attended the Shabbat reception at the Hostages Square. Aviva said, "When Keith was in Gaza without me, it was difficult. Every Friday we decided we had to show sanity for our grandchildren, but we only wanted to cry. I am lucky to have gotten Keith back, and I want you to close your eyes and think about Gali and Zivi Berman finally hugging their mother. How much I want that." Keith added: "Don't forget them, remember them, remind everyone you know about them. I speak on behalf of all those who cannot. I had the privilege to return, but they are struggling every day to survive. We must bring them back as quickly as possible."
