Natanyahu is in pressure after Viral videos of Hostages By Hamas

Irfan Bhatti

New videos of Israeli hostages in Gaza have been released, showing two skeletal hostages, Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski, pleading for their lives. In the videos, David says he's been digging his own grave and hasn't eaten for days, while Braslavski is seen writhing in agony on a dirty mattress due to injuries in his foot. These heart-wrenching videos have increased pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire with Hamas. The International Committee of the Red Cross is "appalled" by the videos and is calling for access to the hostages. Fewer than half of the 50 hostages are believed to be alive, and there's a growing concern about famine in Gaza, with 87 adults and 93 children dying from malnutrition-related causes.¹ ² ³ 💔📰

00:42In the other, Rombraslavsky rides in agony on a dirty mattress

00:46and says injuries in his foot prevent him from being able to stand.

00:50The Associated Press typically does not publish videos of hostages filmed under duress,
