keith siegel looking pretty well, i have to say, wearing a cap. these images, let me tell you a little bit about him. his family described him as a peacemaker, a vegetarian, somebody that on his kibbutz learned arabic in order to talk to the workers there. and then they describe the heartache of the past more than 480 days. his daughter shira delayed her wedding because her father wasn't there. his 98 year old grandmother, mother, his daughter's grandmother died while he was in captivity. he wasn't able to be at the funeral, and now we have been watching images of his wife, aviva, celebrating even before this incredible moment when he is putting escorted to the red cross vehicles. and as you can see now, driven slowly away in scenes that we have become a little bit used to. but this is the first time that an american citizen has been freed during this ceasefire, the first time in more than a year. you know, i have to tell you, richard, that his wife, his wife, aviva, was also held hostage. they were driven into gaza in their own cars by hamas and

the crowd here erupted into cheers, but there was also tears of joy as keith siegel, the first americanne of relief as we saw those images on the big screen here in hostage square of keith siegel in his black cap, looking slightly thinner than he was before. he was waving at the crowd on the stage there in gaza city, in the port. now he will be taken for assessment. we don't know what his condition is like, and he'll meet there with his wife, aviva, and their son as well. now aviva herself. she was also taken with keith on october 7th from their kibbutz kfar aza. aviva was released in 2020 3rd november and the week long ceasefire, then an aviva speaking to us in september, said that when keith comes out, he's going to be treated like a king juju brit. >> we also know that the other two hostages have already been reunited with family members, but give us a sense of the elaborate staging this morning that we saw and the feeling right now in hostage square. how are other family members and supporters responding? >> yeah, i think, you know, with these earlier handovers, we did see hamas try
