Keith Siegel, an American hostage released by Hamas, is reportedly doing "remarkably well" following his freedom, according to his niece, Hanna Siegel. She noted that while he appears "a little weak and a little thin," he is otherwise holding up well after enduring 500 days in captivity.

Lee Siegel, Keith's brother, expressed that his sibling is "very strong," albeit acknowledging the toll his ordeal has taken. The family has shown gratitude towards both the Biden and Trump administrations for their roles in striving for a ceasefire, which they believe is crucial for the release of the remaining 79 hostages.

Hanna emphasized the importance of continued diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe return of other hostages, stating that the family hopes for sustained negotiations. Keith, upon his release, inquired about ways to assist in bringing the others home.

The anticipation of reuniting with Keith is overwhelming for Hanna, who described the feelings of seeing him again as "surreal." She expressed her overwhelming love for him and relief at his return.

In this joyful moment, Lee Siegel shared that the family is experiencing a "dream state," filled with affection and connection as they embrace Keith once more, cherishing every hug and moment together.
