Father of Israeli-American hostage in Gaza ‘in the dark’ despite ceasefire deal with Hamas - Hamas will release hostages who are children, women, and seniors in first phase of ceasefire

Chapel Hill native Keith Siegel is on a list of hostages that could be released under the latest Gaza ceasefire, but he’s not expected to gain his freedom on Sunday.

The first hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023 were released Sunday morning, with 33 hostages expected to be released in the coming weeks.

President Joe Biden confirmed a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has been reached. "It is long past time for the fighting to end and the work of building peace and security to begin," the president said in a statement on Wednesday.

Three Israeli hostages released from Gaza have been handed over to Israeli forces there in the first test of a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The three hostages are Romi Gonen, 24, kidnapped from the Nova music festival, and Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Steinbrecher, 31, kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza.
