Bring Keith Siegel and All Hostages Home

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share the story of Keith Samuel Siegel.

Keith was born in the United States and has worked and lived alongside both Jews and Arabs and treasures them all equally. He lives and loves coexistence. His family says he is a man of an innate faith in the goodness of humankind.

Like all of us, he has a family that loves him dearly and friends whose lives are richer because of him.

On October 7, Keith was one of more than 240 who were kidnapped by Hamas. He is one of more than 100 hostages still being held captive in Gaza, enduring unthinkable torture and trauma.

I stand here today to demand that Hamas release Keith immediately, along with all of the remaining hostages. Israel has proven its willingness to pause the fighting for hostages to be returned home. Nonetheless, Hamas continues to hold more than 100 hostages taken during its despicable acts on October 7; 8 of them believed to be Americans.

Mr. Speaker, it is time to bring Keith home. It is time to bring all of them home.
