Sister Clings to Hope After Video of Nepali Hostage in Gaza Emerges
The video, released two years after Bipin Joshi’s abduction by Hamas, is the first proof of life and was recorded about a month after his kidnapping, family says.
- The Joshi family released a video on Wednesday showing Bipin Joshi alive in Gaza, the first visual proof since his abduction nearly two years ago, recovered by the Israel Defense Forces.
- Joshi had traveled to Israel to study and work in agriculture under a 'Learn and Earn' program when Hamas abducted him from Kibbutz Alumim on October 7, 2023.
- After months under censorship, Israeli intelligence recovered a 33-second clip believed filmed in November 2023 showing Joshi identifying himself in English, recently cleared for release.
- Campaigning in the United States, the family said they timed the footage release to pressure negotiators, while Padma and Pushpa urged officials not to abandon talks and sought help from President Donald Trump.
- Amid indirect talks aimed at a ceasefire, 251 hostages were taken during the October 2023 attack; 47 remain captive and families continue pressing for the release of 48 hostages.
