Videos Show Freed Hostages Reunite With Loved Ones Amid Trump Peace Deal

Freed Israeli hostages ran into the arms of loved ones Monday as emotional reunion videos swept across social media.

Hamas released the last 20 living Israeli hostages on Monday as part of the peace deal that President Donald Trump advanced to end the Israel-Hamas war. One of the most emotional scenes unfolded when Avinatan Or, 32, embraced his girlfriend Noa Argamani, 28, for the first time since they were abducted during the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks.

Argamani, who was rescued last year in a daring Israeli operation, smiled in a photo released by the Israel Defense Forces as Or kissed her cheek.

“October 7 was the last time I saw my partner. In captivity, I asked about Avinatan everywhere I went,” Noa Argamani wrote. “I didn’t know if he was kidnapped or murdered, but I was afraid to know the answer.”

Evyatar David, another freed hostage, had previously been forced to dig his own grave while visibly emaciated from the abuse he endured in captivity. On Monday, he clasped his hands over his head in disbelief as he hugged his parents Avishai and Galia.
