(NewsNation) — The families of the remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza are hoping for more to be done to facilitate their release.

Nimrod Cohen is one of the 59 hostages left. Cohen is a 19-year-old IDF soldier who was taken on Oct. 7 and has been held captive by Hamas for nearly 600 days. His brother, Yotam Cohen, joined “NewsNation Now” on Monday to talk about how he and the rest of his family have felt since his capture.

“We wake up every single day to this horrific reality,” Cohen said. “And we have to keep on waking up and hoping that maybe tomorrow Nimrod will be released.”

Cohen said when American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander was released, he and his family hoped there was a bigger plan in play by the Trump administration to get more of the hostages, including Nimrod. He added they were afraid the U.S. would lose interest after only releasing American hostages but found that not to be the case.

“Every time we meet a U.S. official, they assure us that they won’t stop fighting for every single hostage’s release,” Cohen said. “We trust them.”

Cohen called Trump’s statements calling for the end of the war “a small ray of hope” for his family. He said lately they believed the Israeli government was not doing enough to bring hostages home and only wanted to continue the war. He believes the pressure from the U.S. and other countries will persuade Israel to act.

“I think we all want to see the end of the war,” Cohen said.
