Hamas released a video of an American and an Israeli kidnapped in October last year

Sesthan’s video is about a minute long. Both men introduced themselves in it and stated that they were hoping for an agreement on the release of hostages so that they could move home. It is not entirely clear when the guns were fired. However, Miran stated that the capture lasted 202 days and that Siegel changed the Jewish holiday to Passover, which indicates that the video was shot recently.

Siegel was kidnapped on January 7, along with his wife Aviva, from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Aviva was released in November in exchange for hundreds of hostages for Palestinians held in Israel. Miran was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the New Year.

In the past, Hamas has repeatedly released groups of hostages, which Israel has described as a psychological wolf. Most of the Israeli media do not publish these videos and call them Hamsa propaganda.

The families of the hostages said after the video was released, according to The Times of Israel (ToI), that the Israeli government has a choice between the hostages and the wolf. Israel must choose: hostage or wolf. Into Rafh pines put a murderous hostage in captivity or their death in the train. Entering Rafah will mean another way for the abductee to die. Israel must choose to return the hostages, stand in front of the families.

Vpd put me off the hostage deal

However, Israel could postpone the announced ground operation in Rafah if an agreement is concluded on the release of the Israeli hostages, which will still be held by Hamas. Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Kac told the Israeli station Channel 12.

The release of hostages is the highest priority for us, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs in an interview. When asked if this could mean the planned operation to eliminate the Hamsu battalions in Rafah has been postponed, he answered yes. If there are agreements, we will suspend the operation, he stated.

In Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip near the border with Egypt, according to the Israeli government, those from the Hamsu battalions are still bleeding. However, over a million Palestinians took refuge in this city before the fighting in hundreds of other cities, which caused fears of large-scale civilian casualties. In the last few days, the foreign media, relying on satellite images, reported the establishment of a town in the nearby town of Chen Jnis, where civilians will be evacuated.

The fighting in the Gaza Strip began after terrorist attacks from Poland on January 7, when Hamas and its allies attacked Israeli land in the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli figures, 1,200 people died in the river and another 250 were washed into Palestinian land. During the first and so far only ceasefire at the end of November, almost half of the hostages were released in exchange for the Palestinian freedom.

It was assumed that the 129 hostages kidnapped by Hamas last year on January 7 were found in the Gaza Strip, but not all of them are naive. Since the arrest of the wolf, according to the Ministry of Health of the Hamsa government, 34,388 Palestinians have died in the Gaza Strip.
