Israel Wants World Attention on Hostages Held in Gaza
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 4 – Videos show Israeli hostages in Gaza severely emaciated amid ongoing siege, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to call for urgent International Committee of the Red Cross intervention.
- Following released hostage videos, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the ICRC to deliver food and medical aid to Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David.
- Blaming Israel's siege, Hamas claimed the deteriorating conditions result from war, not neglect, as the Al-Qassam Brigades said on August 3 that starvation worsens across Gaza.
- One disturbing clip shows Evyatar David digging what he claims is his own grave, highlighting deteriorating conditions for hostages, according to Hamas claims.
- In response, Israel formally sought immediate intervention from the International Committee of the Red Cross , with Netanyahu’s office saying he called ICRC regional coordinator Julien Lerisson to demand swift action.
- With restrictions hindering relief, agencies cautioned that vital supplies remain stalled, as Hamas claimed it would allow the ICRC access only if aid routes open across the Gaza Strip.
