Katz said that the delegation applied "great pressure" on UN officials.

Freed hostage Aviva Segal whose husband Keith is still in held by Hama, Eli Elbag the father of Liri, and dozens of other family members of the hostages, Latz said, told the UN Security Council "close your eyes and imagine what you would feel if these were your children."

"We will continue to work together with our friend in the Security Council to declare Hamas a terrorist organization, and to return the abductees," pledged Katz. "We will continue the diplomatic pressure, which together with the military pressure, will help the release of the abductees."(ANI/TPS)
