An English advertisement by the Hostages' Families Headquarters was published in the American New York Post. In the advertisement, released ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East, the families appealed to the president hoping he would succeed in securing the return of all hostages held by Hamas. 'President Trump, we wish you success on your historic journey to the Middle East,' the ad stated, 'Your vision for Middle East peace depends on the release of all 59 hostages held by Hamas. Their return will bring hope for a new reality in the Middle East. We know bringing everyone home is a personal mission for you. Our hopes are with you.'
