First Lady Melania Trump to Meet with Freed American-Israeli Hostage Keith Siegel

First Lady Melania Trump is scheduled to meet with recently freed American-Israeli hostage Keith Siegel on Wednesday afternoon. Siegel was held captive by Hamas during the October 7 attacks on Israel in 2023 and was released in February 2025 as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Melania Trump had previously met with Siegel's wife, Aviva Siegel, before President Donald Trump's second term began. Aviva was released during a temporary ceasefire in November 2023 following the deadly attacks that resulted in numerous casualties and hostages. The first lady's meeting with Aviva Siegel was featured in the documentary "Melania," which premiered in theaters last week and garnered $7 million in its opening weekend, according to estimates from Amazon MGM Studios.
