Former US Vice President Kamala Harris welcomed the release of three hostages Saturday.
"Welcome home, Sagui Dekel-Chen. Doug and I are grateful to see our fellow American citizen finally reunited with his loved ones after being held hostage in Gaza for 498 days," she wrote in a post on X. "Sagui and his family have shown extraordinary strength through a horrific ordeal. As Sagui’s father, Jonathan, was fighting for Sagui’s release, I told him — as I told all of the hostage families — you are not alone. As they celebrate today and begin the path of recovery, they are also not alone. We continue to stand with Sagui and his family, all the recently-released hostages, and all those still held captive in Gaza. All the hostages remaining in Gaza, including Americans, must be brought home."
