Israel President Herzog visits family of twin brother hostages Ziv and Gali Berman

Tel Aviv [Israel], April 15 (ANI/TPS): President of Israel Isaac Herzog on Monday visited the family of Ziv and Gali Berman, twin brothers who have been held hostage in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

"556 days ago, twin brothers Gali and Ziv Berman, two wonderful and caring young Israelis, were brutally kidnapped from their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza," said Herzog. "For 556 days they have been held in the dungeons of Gaza, in the hands of cruel Hamas terrorists."

"Today, on the second day of Passover, the festival of freedom and liberation, Michal and I paid an emotional visit to their family's temporary home," he added. "Together with Ziv and Gali's aunt, Macabit, and bother, Idan, we reiterated our urgent call for their immediate release. This must be the immediate and supreme demand of all who believe in freedom, and wish for a better future for our region."

"They - together with all the hostages - deserve freedom, and they must be released at once." (ANI/TPS)
