Mr. Speaker, it has been over a year since Hamas launched a brutal attack on our ally Israel, slaughtering 1,200 innocent people and taking hundreds of innocent people hostage. Today, the families of these hostages continue to live in unthinkable anguish, desperate for their loved ones to return home safely. Among them is the family of Keith Siegel from my home State of North Carolina. On October 7, Keith and his wife, Aviva, were kidnapped from their home in K'far Aza and held captive together in inhumane conditions underground lacking food, water, and even air. After 51 days, Aviva was released in a hostage exchange, but Keith, now 65 years old, remains in those horrific tunnels. We must continue to fight for the return of Keith and all 100 hostages. We must keep them in our hearts and speak up for them. ____________________
