Former Israeli hostage tells '60 Minutes' Trump is the 'only one' with power to end war in Gaza

  • Yarden Bibas, who survived 484 days in Hamas captivity after being taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 terror attack, returned to Israel to the devastating news that his wife and two young sons were murdered and his community shattered.
  • Following his release from captivity in February, Yarden Bibas has been campaigning for an end to the war and for the release of the remaining hostages.
  • Bibas appeared on CBS's '60 Minutes' to appeal to U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene and help bring the remaining 59 captives home, including his childhood friend David Cunio who was kidnapped with his wife and daughters, though his wife and daughters were released in November 2023.
  • In his appeal, Bibas stated to Lesley Stahl, "Please stop this war, and help bring all the hostages back," emphasizing that he believes he was only released because of Trump's efforts and that continued fighting will not lead to further releases.
  • Despite Hamas's claim to have returned the bodies of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, DNA testing revealed that the adult woman's body was not Shiri, leaving Yarden Bibas as the only surviving member of his immediate family from captivity and underscoring the ongoing nightmare for the families of those still held hostage.
