Hamas on Sunday published a letter purportedly written by former Israeli hostage Keith Siegel before his release, in which he thanked his captors and criticized the Israeli government.

Siegel’s family requested that Israeli media not reproduce the letter. “The Hamas terrorists who held Keith forced him to write them a detailed ‘thank you’ letter. This is one of many examples of Hamas’ cruel and cynical behavior, and the urgency of returning all the hostages back to Israel.”

According to Walla News, the letter contains translation errors that indicate Siegel, a dual United States-Israeli citizen, was dictated a text in Arabic which he was forced to translate into Hebrew.
