President Trump, for you, I can hug my sister again. Romi is finally at home after the painful day of 471. I am deeply grateful for making this possible. Your unwavering commitment and decisive actions helped to secure this transaction and gave you what you had dreamed of for 15 months.
Romi is the light of our family. She puts her family first, and there’s nothing she doesn’t do for her loved ones. That is the person she was before October 7, and she was the person who was even the darkest for her breeding.
I never forget the fear of the day. Romi was only 23 years old when Hamas terrorists invited her from Nova Festival. At the last moment of her terrible freedom, she was calling with our mother. Her last word is still bothered by us -she said that her driver was dead, her best friend Gaya was shot and did not respond. She told us that if she was shot with her hands and did not arrive immediately, she would bleed.
Hamas will release four female hostages as part of the Slael ceasefire contract.

For 471 days, we lived in suffering without knowing what she had experienced or what was going on. For these 471 days, I lived like a nightmare that my sisters should not endure. Every hour, she was filled with Romi’s thoughts, thinking that she was cold, hungry, or feared. We didn’t know the degree of her injury or whether she had received medical care.
President Trump, we are a family of religion -Through this terrible test, we knew she would live and return to us, and we have realized it. Your powerful and decisive statements have given us hope when we need it most. You didn’t do it when others might give up. When you seemed impossible, you pushed it stronger. It has been proven that your unwavering demand for all hostages to return to Japan is important in securing a transaction that returns my Romi and others to the family.

President Trump, thank you for being a catalyst that changed our hope in reality. Your leadership has shown that even the most difficult diplomatic task can overcome it with a sufficient determination.
Seeing you bring your hostage’s family during the presidential parade, showing your true concerns, making us feel that we have not forgotten 15 months from October 7th. I did it. Looking at the release of four women’s hostages, Nama Levi, Daniela Gilbore, Karina Ariev, and Lily Albugs filled my heart with a lot of hope and love. Furthermore, four families have reunited. I know exactly how they feel, how their families have fighted at this precious moment, and now 90 families are waiting for their own reunion.

The moment I embraced Romi after her release, I felt the joy of barely to be a word. The hug would not have been possible without your intervening. The ability to use diplomatic channels and your commitment of bringing all hostages to your house even before you take office have created a difference between your sister’s continuous prisoners and freedom.
But my family’s work is not over. Gaza still has 90 hostages -son and daughter, father and mother, grandparents and young children. Each of them is someone’s Romi. As we did, each of them is waiting, expecting and praying. We reunited with our loved ones, but no one can really heal, but others are confined. You need your continuous support and influence to bring them home.
President Trump did not just take my sister to my house. Complete what you have started and bring all the last hostages of the last hostage to your house, as you have declared very powerfully. We rely on you to make all of the transactions satisfy. Dozens of families are worthy of what you gave to me -the valuable moments that re -embrace their loved ones.

Every time I see Romi, even through this trial, her power and her heart have not broken, and I remember what your intervention was possible. With your help, we can change the prayer of more family members into reunions. We can really start healing only when all 90 hostages are at home.
President Trump, thank you for bringing my sister back to me. Please help me take everyone else to take me home. Our hope depends on you.
