Devastated former Hamas hostage whose US citizen husband is STILL captured speaks out after finding out he's still alive

A former Hamas hostage whose U.S. citizen husband is still captured by the terrorist organization in Gaza has spoken out after seeing proof that he is still alive. 

'I feel like I'm broken up into pieces,' said the devastated wife of Keith Siegel, whose proof-of-life video was released just days ago during the Jewish holiday of Passover.

Keith Siegel has been held by Hamas for 207 days. He sobbed in the heartbreaking video released by Hamas to prove the U.S. citizen is still alive. 

South African-Israeli Aviva Siegel told CBS: 'I know that Keith has had enough. My family has had enough. My country has had enough.

'Seeing my father today only emphasizes to all of us how much we must reach a deal as soon as possible and bring everyone home,' Elan Tiv, Aviva and Keith's 33-year-old daughter, says in a video message response to seeing Keith Siegel's proof of life video 

Siegel was a hostage herself - but was freed 51 days after being kidnapped by Hamas on October 7. Keith was left behind and it has been over 150 days since she has seen her husband. 

Aviva Siegel was forcibly taken from her home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where she and her husband lived for 40 years.

Her son, Elan, previously revealed that she worked closely with doctors to help sick children from both Israel and Palestine.

In an interview with NPR, Siegel said that until the video of her husband was released on Saturday, she had no idea if he was still alive. 

'I want to tell my family that I love you very much,' Keith says in the video. 'It's important to me that you know I'm okay, and I really hope you are too.'

'Seeing my father today only emphasizes to all of us how much we must reach a deal as soon as possible and bring everyone home,' Elan Tiv, Aviva and Keith's 33-year-old daughter, says in a video message released by the mother and daughter in response to Saturday's proof-of-life video. 

'I demand that the leaders of this country watch this video and see their own father crying out for help.' 

Aviva Siegel previously told hostage relatives and members of Israel's war cabinet how guards had broken her husband's ribs and described how he languishes in prison 'barely' able to sit or eat. 

Siegel and her daughter met face-to-face with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Tiv said she felt 'grateful' to be in the room with Blinken. She said they all feel, including American citizens and Israel, 'really grateful for what the United States has been doing.'

Blinken landed in Israel to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the seventh time since October 7, when Hamas militants invaded Israel.

The Secretary of State is determined to get a ceasefire and spoke with Netanyahu about increasing humanitarian aid and negotiating a deal to release American hostages of Hamas. 

'No delays, no excuses. The time is now,' Blinken said at a press conference alongside Israel's President Isaac Herzog. 

Israel said that it has taken steps to allow more aid in by land and by sea - but the UN are still warning that famine is coming, while Netanyahu says the military's invasion of Rafah will happen soon. 

The current round of talks appears to be serious, but the sides remain far apart on one key issue - whether the war should end as part of an emerging deal.  

Blinken told Israeli President Isaac Herzog at a meeting in Tel Aviv today: 'We are determined to get a ceasefire that brings the hostages home and to get it now, and the only reason that that wouldn't be achieved is because of Hamas.

'There is a proposal on the table, and, as we've said, no delays, no excuses.'

The deal would also allow much-needed food, medicine and water to get into Gaza, he said. The US politician described the deal as 'extraordinarily generous' and said Hamas would bear the blame for any failure to get a deal off the ground.

But the terror group has accused Blinken of unfairly putting the blame for the delayed ceasefire agreement on them and pressuring them into giving in

Meanwhile, back in the U.S. chaos is unraveling at college campuses across the country as pro-Palestine and pro-Israel activists descend into 'all-out brawls.'

There has been mayhem at college campuses across the country, including at Columbia University in New York City, where after activists ignored pleas to dismantle their camps, the police were forced to move in and arrest students. 

Columbia University protesters smashed windows, upended furniture and caused damage throughout Hamilton Hall during the occupation before police stormed the campus and arrested more than 100 protesters Tuesday night.

Around 40 protesters were arrested on the first floor of the building after police swooped just after 9pm ending the pro-Palestine encampment that stretched on for nearly two weeks and included students taking over the hall. 

Pictures and video taken of the aftermath show the hall's trashed interior strewn with activists' belongings.

Columbia's President Minouche Shafik called in the NYPD in to 'restore order and safety' to the campus amid the escalating protests, which also included a massive encampment on the school's lawns.

The raid saw demonstrators arrested across the campus and at nearby City College New York, where similar protests unfolded.

Trouble ensued deep into the night on campus at UCLA as pro and anti-Israel protesters clashed in scenes of 'horrific acts of violence' that devolved into 'all-out brawls' which also saw a firework thrown into a crowd of people. 

The violence at UCLA began when a group of pro-Israel activists showed up on campus with the intention of removing the anti-Israel and pro Palestine camp, reports KTLA.
