As Negotiations Begin for Hostage Release Hope Grows for Omri to Join Us in the Sukkah

As negotiations commence in Cairo regarding the implementation of the Trump agreement, families of hostages are filled with cautious hope. The discussions aim to establish a timeline for the release of captives, including Omri Miran, who has been held in Gaza for 730 days.

Hopes for Hostage Release Grow

Dani Miran, the father of the captive, expressed his optimism about the upcoming negotiations. He noted that his daughters are eager for their father to return in time for this year’s Sukkot festival. Dani stated, “I am more optimistic than ever; the agreement has been well received. While there are some hesitations from Hamas, I believe we will see all the hostages released soon.”

Significance of the Agreement

According to Dani, he sees this moment as a significant victory for Israel and its people. The return of the hostages is anticipated to foster unity within the nation. “Once they are home, we can organize and come together as a community,” he remarked.

Preparations for Sukkot

Dani shared that they have built a sukkah for his granddaughters, hopeful that Omri will be able to join them. “The girls want their father back to take them to school. My eldest dreams of him and knows he is in Gaza,” he said. He recounted a touching moment when his daughter wished to visit Gaza before Passover to bring him home.

A Vision for the Future

Dani emphasized his focus on the goal of his son’s return, dismissing any thoughts of what could happen if negotiations fail. He believes in taking proactive steps towards building trust with the involved parties, including Hamas.

Imagining the Reunion

Reflecting on their future reunion, Dani shared his vision, saying, “I have been imagining this meeting for two years. It will be a spontaneous hug, and I will tell him how much I’ve missed him.”
