“After asking a series of difficult questions and getting answers to all of them… we feel probably more optimistic than we have since the first round of releases in late November,” hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen’s father, Jonathan Dekel-Chen, tells reporters outside the White House, adding that their meeting was “productive and honest.”
Dekel-Chen says the combination of Israel’s military pressure, the diplomatic pressure that countries abroad have been placing on Hamas and the efforts of the US and Israel, which he was briefed on in today’s meeting, are what has led him to be so optimistic.
