Release of Sagui Dekel Chen and Hostages in Gaza
Press Statement
February 16, 2025
President Trump keeps delivering on his promise to bring Americans home.  Sagui Dekel Chen and two other hostages have been released by Hamas in Gaza after nearly 500 days of horrific captivity.  I am grateful that they are back home and safe with their families.  Hamas still holds 73 hostages including New Jersey native Edan Alexander and the remains of four Americans murdered in Gaza.  They must ALL come home NOW.  The fact that these terrorists continue to hold hostages and even dead bodies reflects their sick depravity.  I call on our partners to help impress upon Hamas’ leaders that they are playing with fire.
