Yarden Bibas, an Israeli man who was recently released from captivity, lost his wife and two young children to an attack by Hamas. He is now urging President Trump to work towards bringing an end to the ongoing conflict and ensuring the safe return of other hostages.

“I know he can help. I’m here because of Trump I’m here only because of him,” Bibas told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in his first interview since his release from Hamas captivity.

He then directly addressed the president, saying: “Please stop this war and help bring all the hostages back.”

Bibas, his wife Shiri and their two sons — 4-year-old Ariel and 9-month-old Kfir — were taken hostage during Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Isreal. While the father was released during a January cease-fire, his wife and children were killed at the hands of their captors.

Their bodies were released as part of a cease-fire deal earlier this year.

“They were all murdered in cold blood, bare hands,” Bibas said.

“They [Hamas] used to tell me ‘Oh, doesn’t matter. You’ll get a new wife. Get new kids. Better wife. Better kids.”

Now, Bibas is advocating for Trump’s involvement, hoping the US leader can convince Netanyahu and Hamas to agree to another cease-fire.

Bibas was one of several released hostages interviewed on “60 Minutes” in an episode set to air Monday night.
