Melania Trump, wife of U.S. President Donald Trump, met at the White House with Israeli-American former hostages Keith and Aviva Siegel, after she said a previous meeting with Aviva in January 2025 was a "catalyst" for leading the effort to secure Keith's release. "I was moved to hear from her about the support she gave to Aviva and the hostage families," Keith said. Aviva thanked the first lady and said that "meeting her again today is a profound full circle."
