Hamas released a video of three women taken hostage in Gaza. The film, which lasted one minute and 16 seconds and was viewed by ANSA, was published by Hamas accounts on social media. Israeli television channels are not broadcasting the video.
The female hostages’ speech, Netanyahu’s response
“Instead, you vowed to release everyone We pay for political failureSecurity, military and state for your disaster on October 7th. There was no army, there was no one and no one protected us on October 7th, there is no army and we citizens who pay taxes are prisoners in impossible conditions.” This is how the appeal of the three women begins. “Yesterday there was a press conference and there was supposed to be a ceasefire. But it wasn’t like that, we are still under the bombs,” they add. “You kill us, you want to kill us all, haven’t you massacred us enough? Haven’t enough Israeli citizens died? Free us now, free your citizens, free your prisoners.” “Let’s go back to our families now!” the woman then shouted. Israel’s national television channels are currently refraining from rebroadcasting the Hamas-produced video.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the video “cruel psychological propaganda.” “I address Yelena Tropanov, Danielle Alloni and Rimon Kirscht, who were kidnapped by Hamas-Isis in a war crime: I hug you, our hearts are with you. I hug you,” Netanyahu said, addressing the three women he named . “We are doing everything we can to bring the hostages and missing people home,” he added.
