According to a statement posted to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum’s Instagram page on Tuesday, Seinfeld and his family visited the organization’s headquarters where they attended “an emotional meeting with representatives of the families of the hostages as well as hostages who returned from Hamas captivity.” The organization shared in their post on Tuesday that Seinfeld spoke with families about his commitment to raising awareness about the hostages in the ongoing conflict. “We thank the Seinfeld family for their moving visit to the families’ headquarters and their unwavering support for the families of the hostages,” the Forum wrote. “We are confident that their support will be a significant and important step in our shared mission to bring about the immediate and safe return home of all the hostages.” CNN reached out to a representative for Seinfeld, who had no further comment. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum is an organization formed by families of hostages shortly after the October 7 attacks. It is a volunteer and donation-based initiative that offers affected families medical and emotional support, professional assistance and works to advance global awareness of the crisis in an effort to free abductees, according to their official website.
