Videos of emaciated Israeli hostages in Gaza increase pressure on Netanyahu for a ceasefire
- New footage released in late July 2025 revealed severely malnourished Israeli captives in Gaza, heightening demands on Prime Minister Netanyahu to negotiate a ceasefire.
- These videos followed nearly 22 months of conflict triggered by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that abducted around 250 people and ignited the Gaza war.
- The videos depict hostages like Evyatar David visibly weakened and starving, prompting Israeli protests demanding their release and urgent calls for humanitarian access.
- Netanyahu stated the footage renewed his resolve to release “all of them, without exception” and compared Hamas's treatment of hostages to Nazis starving Jews.
- Netanyahu plans a Cabinet meeting to direct military action against Hamas, while the war has killed over 60,000 Palestinians amid worsening famine and contested ceasefire talks.

This weekend, Hamas released a haunting video of 24-year-old Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage abducted from the Nova Music Festival during the Oct. 7 attacks. In the video, David appears so emaciated and pale that his father said he didn’t recognize him. David's family is pleading for urgent international intervention. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Matan Eshet, a cousin of Evyatar David.
