US EditionNew Video of Israeli Hostage Released by Hamas
GAZA, AUG 3 – Hamas released the video amid stalled negotiations, with at least 20 hostages believed alive and 30 dead, highlighting harsh captivity conditions, officials said.
- On Friday, Hamas released a nearly five-minute video forcing Israeli hostage Evyatar David to dig his own grave, and he has been held since October 7, 2023.
- With no progress in negotiations, US special envoy Steve Witkoff reported no news of talks with Hamas, as lawmakers condemned the group's cruelty following the second hostage video this week.
- Inside the tunnel, David says 'I haven't eaten for a few days in a row' and explains the can of beans is for two days so that he doesn't die.
- The video prompted outrage in Israel and across the globe, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning Hamas terrorists for 'deliberately starv our hostages, documenting them in a cynical, humiliating, and malicious manner.'
- Despite the crisis, Canada, the UK and France plan to recognize a Palestinian state as soon as next month, while Israel has increased humanitarian aid routes and tactical pauses.

Netanyahu responds after Israeli hostage seen emaciated, digging grave: 'Cruelty of Hamas has no boundaries'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the video of severely emaciated Israeli hostage Evyatar David shows the "cruelty of Hamas has no boundaries" and demanded action.
The terrorist organization Hamas denounces the hunger in Gaza – and suppresses the fact that it is responsible for it itself. But even in the Arab world, it loses support.
At a protest with tens of thousands of participants in Tel Aviv, photographs of the starved 24-year-old Evyatar David, imprisoned by Hamas, are shown. The terrorist organization abuses the abducted "as a living experimental object in a hunger experiment."
Bad images from the Gaza Strip. A young man must dig his own grave. He is held hostage by Hamas. The images cause horror.
