Statement of the Families Forum to Joint Statement by US, Qatari, and Egyptian Leaders

On behalf of the hostages’ families, we support and express our deepest gratitude to US President Joe Biden, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for their unwavering commitment to securing the release of 115 hostages. 

For 308 days, these hostages – including men, women, children, and the elderly – have endured captivity hell. Every moment there endangers their lives. 

This recent statement re-affirms what we’ve long known: a deal is the only path to bring all hostages home. Time is running out. The hostages have no more time to spare. A deal must be signed now!
