Eili and Yaela David, siblings of kidnapped Aviatar David, and captivity survivors Ohad and Raz Ben Ami met with US President Donald Trump and other senior American administration officials at the White House. During the meeting, the president reiterated his commitment to freeing all hostages and reassured the families, claiming the American administration is "working hard and committed to the release and return home of the 48 hostages held in Hamas captivity." Trump asked those present if military pressure would help the situation, and the families responded that such action would endanger the hostages and that the only solution is an agreement to end the war and release the hostages, which the president agreed with.
