(24 Dec 2025) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Tel Aviv, Israel - 24 December 2025 1. Hostage relatives and released hostage Eitan Horn entering 2. Flag with pictures of hostages 3. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Talik Gvili, mother of hostage Ran Gvili: "I stand here today not only as a mother fighting to bring her son home, but also as someone fighting for the realization of this country’s values, values for which Rani was injured to defend the country. I was invited to join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s flight to the United States. The Prime Minister is traveling to meet with President Trump, and I am flying to support him, to assist him, and to ensure that there will be no advancement to the next phase until Hamas fulfills its obligations in this stage of the agreement—and above all, its duty to return Rani home." 4.

SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Talik Gvili, mother of hostage Ran Gvili: "I am addressing the Prime Minister directly. Mr. Prime Minister, I support your decision not to move to Phase Two of the agreement before all commitments to us are fulfilled. The original agreement spoke of 48 hostages. We have received only 47. My Rani is the 48th hostage. It cannot be that the other side violates agreements and we continue as if nothing happened. There is an agreement. The agreement got the backing of the President of the United States. If we do not insist on the full implementation of this agreement, we risk losing Rani forever.” 6. Cutaway photographer 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dalia Cusnir Horn, sister-in-law of released hostages Eitan and Iair Horn: "To Mr. President Trump I say, Mr. President, my family owes you a debt of gratitude forever. We saw your vision for a brighter Middle East realised when Eitan and Iair walked free, but the work is not yet complete. As families gather to celebrate Christmas, Talik is still waiting for her son. Please use all your leverage to ensure that Hamas honours every word of this agreement. Anyone who wants a bright future for this region must ensure that no one is left behind. Please help Talik bring Rani back home. Talik, you travel with our truth. We will not stop until Rani is home." 8.
