“I was preparing myself to die” - Hostage Speaks on the Anniversary of Her Release
Description
[A warning to listeners this episode contains content that some may find distressing]
One year ago, Aviva Siegel, a U.S. citizen, was held captive in Gaza for 51 days before her release under a week-long agreement last November. Her husband, Keith Siegel, 65, remains in captivity. Since gaining her freedom, Aviva has become a tireless advocate, working to keep attention on her husband’s situation and urging international leaders to secure his release. Her journey now embodies resilience and public activism as she balances supporting her family with her relentless campaign on Keith’s behalf.
Eylon sits down with Aviva to discuss her time in captivity, the return of Keith, what life has been like in the year since release and how the US and Israel can fight for the return of hostages. This wide ranging conversation pulls no punches in taking a hard look at the current situation on the ground in Israel from a perspective unique to Aviva.
