“Several weeks after my return home, on March 6, I had the honour of meeting President Trump at the White House. He welcomed me with genuine warmth as he made me a promise – that he would not rest until every last hostage is free. Mr. President, you achieved what many thought was impossible. You led the deal that brought 38 hostages, including me, home. We, the survivors, know you are a decisive and irreplaceable force. Saving lives, there is no greater achievement. But the work is not yet done, there are still 59 souls in brutal captivity.”

“President Trump, you brought so many of us home once. Now we are asking you to do it again. Use every tool, push with everything you have, bring the rest back. Every day matters, every life matters. Even for those of us who made it home, healing can never be complete while others are still left behind. “
