They return from the depths of hell to begin the process of healing and recovery alongside their loving families, who fought with all their strength for them."</p><p>"The completion of a hostage deal is a humanitarian, moral, and Jewish imperative.

We must do everything possible to bring back all the hostages from captivity in Gaza— until the very last one!"</p>
