The family of captive survivor Keith Siegel, who was released on Saturday after 484 days in Gaza, said that "the Hamas terrorists who held Keith forced him to write them a detailed letter of thanks. This is one example of many of the cruel and cynical conduct of the terrorist organization and the urgency of returning all the hostages back to Israel." In the letter, Keith wrote: "The guards took care of all my needs: food and drink, medicine, vitamins and more. They made sure I was examined by a doctor when I felt unwell, and they responded to my requests regarding nutrition. I was treated well." It also said that "the government did not do what was necessary to reach a deal. I wish for peace soon, and would like to say thank you to the fighters who guarded me."
