You freed me from Hamas, President Trump. Please save my brother, too.

Iair Horn, who was held by Hamas for 498 days, praises President Trump for helping to secure his release, but begs him to help win the freedom of his brother and the other hostages still held by the terrorist group.

To President Trump, who secured my freedom: Though we've never met, I will forever owe you my life. History will remember you as the leader who took decisive action when it mattered most, who upheld the sacred value of human life. Iair Horn is a dual citizen of Argentina and Israel who was freed after 498 days in captivity at the hands of Hamas.

As I write these words, three more hostages from my own kibbutz are being returned to Israel – in coffins. Oded Lifshitz, and the two precious Bibas children, Ariel and baby Kfir, who wasn't even one year old when he was kidnapped. They were taken alive on October 7, 2023, and now their families must bury them. And in the cruelest trick of all, Hamas failed to deliver the body of the boys' mother, Shiri Bibas. The IDF determined the terrorists swapped in the body of an unknown person for Shiri, leaving her fate unknown.

What kind of world do we live in where terrorists murder an innocent baby, his young brother, and an elderly man? As these families lay their loved ones to rest, I am tormented by a single thought: will my brother Eitan be next? Will more families receive their loved ones in coffins? We cannot let this happen. Not one more hostage should return this way.
