It has just come to our attention that another one of our colleagues , Keith Siegel, was also kidnaped along with his wife, Aviva Siegel, by HAMAISIS on 7.10.23.
There is currently no information about their condition or whereabouts.
Keith is an Israeli and American citizen.
Hamas is holding more than 212 hostages captive, innocent babies, children, women ,elderly, and people with special needs!
We call our OT colleagues around the world to join our call: Free Israeli hostages!
We recently learned that among the 222 hostages held by HamasISIS is Keith Siegel, an Israeli-American OT, who has been abducted on October 7th along with his wife Adrienne (Aviva), An Israeli & American citizen as well. Upon learning Keith is part of the Israeli OT community, ISOT has immediately reached out to AOTA asking for their assistance in the release of our colleague, Keith Siegel, as well as our colleague Carmel Gat, an Israeli OT, from captivity in Gaza, along with all other abductees. ISOT have asked AOTA to take an active role in these efforts, and we are hoping AOTA will use its influence and judgment to stand firmly with Israel and the Israeli OT community in these difficult times.
