Freed Israeli Hostage to Meet Trump After Harrowing Account of Hamas Captivity

Eli Sharabi, who endured 16 months of torture and starvation, will meet with President Trump to discuss the urgency of ongoing hostage negotiations.

Eli Sharabi, released last month after 16 months in Hamas captivity, will meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Sharabi's account of severe torture, starvation, and the murder of his family has drawn international attention and sympathy.
Trump extended the invitation after viewing excerpts of Sharabi's interview, describing his survival as comparable to that of Holocaust survivors.
Sharabi and other freed hostages will travel to Washington D.C. on a plane provided by Miriam Adelson, a prominent Trump donor.
The meeting underscores the fragile state of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, with 59 hostages still held in Gaza and negotiations ongoing.
