New videos of 2 Israeli hostages in Gaza raise concerns that they are facing starvation with no deal in sight

For the first time in months, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have released videos of Israeli hostages they have held since Oct. 7, 2023, pleading for their release.
The videos of Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David show the young men in dire physical conditions and come amid a breakdown in negotiations toward their release.
Those who have seen it now understand how serious it is and the physical condition Evyatar was in when, just 40 minutes ago, he gave me a million punches to the heart, wrote Davids sister Yeela David on social media.
The video of David, 24, who was taken hostage at the Nova music festival along with his best friend, Guy Gilboa-Dalal, was published Friday by Hamas but was not publicized on request from his family.
It comes one day after Palestinian Islamic Jihad published a video of Braslavski, 21, who was abducted while working as a security guard at the Nova music festival during a break in his army service.

          Jewish Group - should stay focused on the Jewish human beings held hostage by a brutal Regime (Hamas).

(20,767 posts)3. I think the fact that Hamas released the videos shows how desperate they have become
        after the Arab League called on them last week to release the hostages, disarm, and surrender.
Folks have been wondering why, in the flood of recent photos, there are none of the starving men of Gaza.
Looks like Hamas has just released them.
