The families of hostages held by Hamas will participate in a roundtable hosted by the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.

The roundtable comes as Israel and Hamas exchanged a fifth round of detainees Tuesday, with 12 Israeli hostages and 30 Palestinians released.

The Neutra, Chen and Naftali families are all expected to attend the event. Liz Hirsh Naftali, expected to be present, is the great aunt of Abigail Mor Idan, the 4-year-old American hostage released by Hamas Sunday.

The event is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EST.
