U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio conducted his initial official meeting in Washington, D.C., with the families of hostages still detained by Hamas in Gaza as the terror group continues its conflict with Israel.

Rubio emphasized the Trump administration’s dedication to freeing all 50 remaining hostages, according to a press release from The Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

The meeting included Moshe Lavi, brother-in-law of hostage Omri Miran; Ilay David, brother of hostage Evyatar David; Tzur Goldin, brother of Lt. Hadar Goldin; and recently released hostage Iair Horn, whose brother Eitan Horn is still in captivity.

Iair Horn was released from his captivity as a hostage of Hamas in Gaza, but his brother, Eitan Horn, remains in the enclave.

“We’ve waited long enough,” the families said. “It’s time to make brave decisions and bring all our loved ones back—all at once.”
