Keith Siegel, 65, is an Israeli-American who was held hostage for 484 days in Hamas. After fighting drastic conditions for over a year, Siegel was freed and returned home on February 1, 2025.

It is believed that at least two of the six American hostages still held in Gaza are alive — Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, who grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and Edan Alexander, 19, from Tenafly, New Jersey. Four other Americans are believed to have been killed in captivity.
