Hanna Siegel's uncle, U.S.-Israeli citizen Keith Siegel, was one of the hostages seen in a Hamas propaganda video Saturday.

As reports of Israel 's new cease-fire proposal renew hopes for the release of hostages still being held by Hamas , the niece of an U.S.- Israel i captive said that while she believes a deal can be reached, her family is concerned that finalizing any sort of peace agreement may not serve Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political agenda. President Biden spoke with Netanyahu on Sunday, the White House confirmed to CBS News.

There had been no word about him for months, his family said, until he appeared in undated video footage released Saturday by Hamas on the group's social media channel, which is often used to publish propaganda. Siegel was seen in the video with another hostage, identified as Omri Miran by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, several days after similar footage emerged of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, another Israeli-American being held hostage.
