(NewsNation) — Jonathan Dekel-Chen, father of Israeli-American hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen, says he’s “overjoyed” four more hostages are set to be released this weekend.

However, there’s a sense of “nervousness” as his son remains in captivity.

While he’s optimistic his son will come home, he’s looking to the Trump administration to ensure all parties commit to their ceasefire agreement commitments.
