Former Israeli captives tell Trump a military expansion in Gaza will endanger people still held by Hamas

US President Trump was sent a video message by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum on Thursday, telling him that Israel's expansion plans in the enclave threaten the remaining captives in Gaza. 

Both freed Israeli captives and the widow of a deceased captive recorded messages in the video. 

Former captive Iair Horn said Trump could change the course of the conflict for the better.

“You have the power to make history, to be the president of peace, the one who ended the war, ended the suffering, and brought every hostage home, including my little brother.”

Meanwhile, former captive Sasha Troufanov warned Trump that the expanded military operation would put them all in danger. 

“President Trump, the decision to expand the military operation puts each and every one of them in very great danger. Every bullet, every strike could be the one that ends their life.”
