White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - FLOTUS Pool Report 2 - Details from event and FLOTUS takes questions
The trio sat on three chairs in the Blue Room: Keith, then Melania, and then Aviva.
The First Lady wore a black pants suit with white blouse and spoke first, speaking about her January 2025 meeting with Aviva.
"After Aviva was freed, she called me, wanted to see me, and we set up a meeting in New York in January 2025. It was emotional meeting, and it is captured on camera and available to see by the film, Melania."
"Aviva present me with two of Keith’s books, and when I came home that evening, I gave it to my husband and informed him the situation, and I know he was fighting for all the hostages. And as we know now, all of the hostages are free and home with the families."
"Aviva was a warrior. She is a warrior. She was fighting very hard for Keith. And I know he suffered a lot."
"I'm happy to see you healthy at home with your children, with your grandchildren, with your family."
Keith grew emotional as he spoke, having to pause and take breaths. FLOTUS reached out to clasp hands with Aviva as Keith spoke.
Keith: "I want to thank you for being a caring, compassionate person and for supporting and helping Aviva."
