Nadav Rudaeff, whose father Lior Rudaeff was killed during the Oct. 7 attacks, joined the Fox & Friends Weekend show to discuss the current state of the conflict and the administration’s initiative to repatriate all fallen hostages. During the interview, Rudaeff expressed that despite recent developments, the war is far from over and that the efforts to bring every hostage home must continue. He criticized the delays in the repatriation process and called for a more aggressive approach to secure the release of remaining hostages.
Rudaeff’s remarks came as the Trump administration has been actively pushing for the repatriation of all hostages, emphasizing the importance of bringing every individual back. The family’s public stance underscores the ongoing emotional and political weight of the hostage crisis, which continues to influence both domestic and international narratives surrounding the conflict in Gaza. As the situation remains volatile, the voices of the families of the fallen remain central to the discourse on how to proceed with the war effort.
