Megyn Kelly Tells Emotional and Incredible Stories of Israeli Hostages FINALLY Released By Hamas

One of the most consequential moments in history unfolding this morning in the Middle East. The long nightmare for the families of the Israeli hostages is over. All 20 of the survivors released hours ago into the arms of their loved ones. And I cannot get enough of the videos. They’re incredible. All right, we’re going to go through a few of them. Among those released, 25-year-old Matan Zangalker. He was kidnapped from his home on October 7th. His final text to his mother that day was, “Mom, I love you. Someone is here.” Last week, when his mother found out he would be released, she said the moment she was looking forward to the most was when her son’s eyes could sink into her own. Today, she got that moment. Watch. [Music] [Laughter] It’s amazing. In each one of these, they’re holding on to them like they might never see them again. I mean, they’re holding on to their sons exactly the way that you would hold on to your son. I mean, exactly the way you would hold on to your son if you hadn’t seen him in two years and he were in the hands of a terrorist group in some cave. It’s you can feel the the relief and the joy and the gratitude. The gratitude. It’s like oozing out of the screen and it’s just one of the reasons why it’s so emotional watch to watch these. Also among the released 24year-old uh Evat let’s say Evitar Evitar I’m sorry I’m they’re tough names but I’m trying aar David uh Aviatar was kidnapped from the Nova Festival in southern Israel. This is a photo of him before he was taken hostage in August. Hamas released video of him showing him looking emaciated. This is him. This is a Vitar right here. Look, it’s terrible. For the listening audience, he looks like a Holocaust victim. So skinny, skin and bones in an underground tunnel, showing him just looking awful and his face looks forlorn uh and digging in a cramped underground tunnel. When his family was shown the video, his father said he did not even recognized that this was his son. And this was a Vitar today. He blew kisses to the crowd of onlookers as he arrived to a hospital in Israel. He still looks thin, but he was smiling and he was waving. And his life has been saved. Wow. Another hostage released was shown in one of the most widely shared videos of the October 7th attack. Avinatan Orur was at the supernova music festival with his girlfriend Noah Argammanid when Hamas terrorists attacked the music festival. They spent hours hiding in a ditch, but they were discovered by the terrorists and Noah was seen being driven off toward Gaza on a motorbike. Everyone has seen this video. Here it is. She’s reaching for him. She looks terrified. She’s got the long dark curly hair. You can see just nothing but distress on her distress on her face. As she reaches for him, she cries, “Don’t kill me.” While reaching for a a venaton, they were both taken. The reports were that he actually had had a chance to escape prior to this, but wouldn’t go because he wasn’t going to leave her. I’m not ex exactly sure how it went down, but he apparently had the chance to spare his own life and leave her behind, and he wouldn’t. Eventually, they were both taken, but Noah was freed after an Israeli military operation earlier in these past 2 years. His mother once said about finding out that he was a hostage, quote, “It’s like lightning striking, but from all directions at once. Then all the light inside of you disappears, and the darkness means no thoughts, no emotions, no air, just nothing. Today he’s free. In the first images of his release, he is shown pumping his fist. And then later he was reunited with Noah. Oh my gosh. They’re hugging. They fall on on this bed that’s in the back. They’re holding on so tightly. They won’t let go. He’s kissing her. She’s There’s not an inch between them. She seems he’s now he’s giving her a real kiss, touching her face. Hopefully, they can get past this nightmare and and we’ll have a long and happy life together with lots of kids. We’re all praying for them. One of the most emotional scenes today came from the family of Sigv Calfan. He too was taken from the Nova Music Festival. He called his family that day as he was trying to run from the terrorists. They never heard from him again and only found out in February of this year that he was still alive. When Sigv was reunited with his family today, you’ll see it at first. Uh he tries to keep it together, but then he wales with emotion at the first sight of his loved ones. His [Applause] [Music] dad is kissing his head. He’s got his elbows on his knees. He’s overwhelmed. It’s so It’s like so emotional to watch, isn’t it? My god. the raw emotion. I’m sure both he and his family thought he was going to die for the entirety of those two years. Why would you put any faith whatsoever in Hamas? So many of them did die. One of the things we’re still waiting on today is the release of the deceased bodies. Hamas has not complied with the obligation to release them immediately contemporaneously with the live hostages. And um so far as we came to air, only four of the deceased bodies had been released. That’ll be a fight we’ll see play out in the coming days as they try to retrieve them from under rubble. And also, we are told in some cases they’re not sure where the remains are. So, thank God Sigv is okay. It easily could have gone another way. Gosh, those screams are so powerful. You could hear him screaming and his whailing is a better word, and his dad whailing. And you just think of like a father’s love for his son and what any father would give to be have been the one taken instead of the son, you know, to trade places with his boy so his boy didn’t have to go through what Sev did. And then to have them back, you know, it’s like if you’ve ever lost someone, one of the five stages of grief is bargaining. And you bargain that you’ll be given that moment that like something will be wrong with the news you were given and that you you’ll get the moment of finding out he’s not dead and you can hold him. You can whail like that with relief that you were wrong and he’s been brought back into your life. It’s like every time I see one of these I this isn’t some big promo for Trump but I do think of Trump. Like what is it in that crazy mind of Trump’s that just let him never give up? What is it about like sort of the madness that drives our president in the best sense that makes him say, “No, I I can get it done. I can do it. No, I’ll I’ll keep going through the indictments. I don’t care that my freedom’s in jeopardy. No, I know I was just shot in the head, but I’m going to stand up and say fight, fight, fight when we don’t know whether the shooter’s dead. No, I don’t care that they impeach me twice. I’m going to run again. They’re trying to keep me off ballots. They’re trying to attack my family. No, I’m I’m going to win. I’m going to run and I’m going to win. No, I don’t care that you tell me this court or that that I can’t send troops there because people are dying and I want to make sure ICE officers are protected. And I don’t care. Like, I’m going to find a way to do it because I know it’s what’s right. I I know this is what’s right. I I know that this war needs to wrap up. Those were President Trump’s terms. That’s what he said. Time to wrap it up. But there has to be a way of getting the h There has to be a way of getting the hostages out. What? We have to apply pressure. That’s my business. Let What are the pressure points? Go to Qatar. Go to Egypt. Go to Turkey. Twist the financial concerns up. Give them what they want. make it worth their while so that they can lean on on the Palestinians in a way that the United States cannot because we lack the leverage points. There’s something in his head that just doesn’t let him take no for an answer. He’s a miracle worker. That’s what it feels like we’re seeing. Sigv walking out and holding his dad like that is a miracle after that picture of him in the tunnel. And as these hostages have been coming out one by one today, President Trump this morning, he’s been going all night. You know, he he flew to Israel. It was like 2:40 um US time. There’s 7 hours ahead. So, you know, add 7. I screwed that up on the AM update, by the way. I had the reverse. Um apologies for that. But he was over there 2 240 landing, meeting with Israeli families, addressing the Knesset, the Israeli parliament. Um then I think right now is already off to Egypt. Um like one place it’s just what he’s doing over there is super human. The man’s 79 years old. Most of us complain if like we have a full day of work plus home responsibilities plus like a social engagement in the evening. A lot of us maybe not most I do. It’s incredible. So he addressed Israelis, the Israeli parliament this morning, talking about what’s been achieved and his new hope for the region. After two harrowing years in darkness and captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families. And it is glorious. 28 more precious loved ones are coming home at last to rest in this sacred soil. for all of time. And after so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace. A land and a region that will live, God willing, in peace for all eternity. I love Israel. I’m with you all the way. You will be bigger, better, stronger, and more loving than ever before. Thank you very much. God bless you. God bless the United States of America, and God bless the Middle East. Thank you everybody. Good luck. Thank you very much. Thank you.

  1. Is there a video celebrating the release of Palestinians held without charge including children! Just saw a video of an obvious autistic boy Israel releases! Shame!

  2. Trump did a great thing but I will never trust Hamas….they will betray this peace. Even today they executed their own people who they accused of talking to Israel….the enemy. This should speak volumes.

  3. Israeli here. We feel the oxygen returning to our lungs after two years. The past few weeks were a nightmare as we were scared of our own unhinged (and highly unpopular) government that threaten to continue the military campaign and blow up the deal. It is with great shame that I say it was crucial for an American president to keep Netanyahu in check. Now N is trying to portray this as his own achievement, but Israelis know. We have shown our desire to stop the madness and we are grateful that at least for now we have been released of the delusional fanatic agendas with which our Prime Minister surrounds himself.

  4. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the best president ever Donald Trump.
    The Cyrus the Great of our time🫡🙏❤️
    God bless 🇺🇸🇮🇱
    Long live President Trump🙏🙏🙏

  5. Was! This feat of Mr. President Trump to secure the releash of these precious souls to their families, your love and the standing aviation are far supreme than winning a noble peace prize award. Mr. Trump is a man after God's own heart, and he doesn't needs to be righteous in men's eyes anyway; God used King Darius a non-rightious man to fulfill His purposes. For you Mr. President Trump, sometimes I considered him a non-human for his stamina @79yrs and his boldness, courageousness! I covet this kind of grace upon you sir. And the God of Isreal truly bless you and your family in Jesus precious name🙏🏾🎉❤️

  6. They want to get to work and Trump will help him build a brand new Palestine is it going to be a double state where Palestine control their own stuff and I’m Jews ain’t got a big old lock on them

  7. @2:22 I was so worried about this guy and was hoping and praying he held on, I’m so glad he did and gets to be reunited with his family!!! ❤️

  8. אנחנו אוהבים את טרמפ ❤ זה האיש שמתעקש לעשות תמיד את הנכון והטוב בעיני אלוהים ואדם 🙏 איש מתנה לעולם 🙏🇮🇱❤ מבורך

  9. Mygen Kelly, you are Israel puppet, everyone that praises Israel or Jews we don't trust you anymore,, we know you got paid by Israel to lie

  10. In 2017, Trump inherited ISIS & left with the Abraham Accords. In 2025, Trump again inherits a Middle East engulfed in flames & again turns it into peace. Astonishing.

  11. I feel so happy for the families that got their loved ones back. I also feel so much pain for the families that didn’t get their loved ones back alive. I can’t imagine how that poor guy felt while digging his own grave. I’m sure he felt all was lost. I would t wish that on my worst enemy. Welcome home brother!!

  12. To all Jewish people around the world: please know, not everyone thinks like those who spread hate and anti-Semitism. You are not alone. From Belgium, I send you my support, my compassion, and my deepest apologies that once again, history repeats itself — the world has turned its back on you.

    With sorrow, shame, and solidarity,

    Am Yisrael Chai ​​💙​​💙​​💙Well done America
