The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has published on Monday a new video in which two hostages appear in which They ask the Israeli government to end the attacks that “can kill them” and that resumes the high fire agreement. Specifically, the Israelis are Elkana Bohbot, 35, and Yosef Haim Ohana, 24.
“Please, listen to our voice. With the arrival of Alto El Fuego, on January 19, and the reopening of border crossings, Hamas worried about making us all we needed. We believed that the end of this situation had arrived“, implores Yosef Haim, kidnapped at the Nova Music Festival, during the attacks of October 7, 2023.
The video, which It lasts three minutes and lacks dated, shows the two hostages sitting on the ground. In it, they are especially heading to Ohad Ben Ami, another hostage that was kidnapped with them and was already released. Thus, they have asked him to “tell what has been lived” in captivity and that “press” to achieve his prompt release.
“Tell him, Ohad,” said one of them before pointing out that they are now “numbers”, but that Before the resumption of bombings “they had a name, an identity and hope.” “We want to clarify that Hamas has not asked us to say this; we have been begging to be able to speak and now I hope our voice is heard,” he said. “This is not a psychological war,” he added.
In this sense, he stressed that once the agreement was set, Hamas “worried” and “they were better.” “We stop being hungry and start breathing pure air. But then we have a hard blow, “he said, before emphasizing that” the new attacks by Israel will lead to our death. “
“Yesterday, during one of those attacks, we saw death closely with our own eyes. It is the time we have been closer to it,” he continued. “It’s enough,” he added. “We know that they tell you that they try to send us home, but you have to know that These types of attacks put us in danger. After the attack and closing of the steps, the food is running out, the conditions are worse and there is no safe place, “he said.
Meanwhile, the second hostage has lamented that the government “being silenced” its voices, and has emphasized that the hostages that have been released must speak and express what they think. “Stop acallad them, let them tell the truth. All those who have been here must have the right to tell their truth“He has claimed, as you can see in the video, broadcast through social networks.
The dissemination of propaganda videos by the Palestinian militias starring hostages as a pressure measure for the Israeli government to accept an agreement has been a constant since the beginning of the Israeli offensive in the strip.
