The Hamas terror group on Friday published a new propaganda video of hostage Evyatar David, a day after Palestinian Islamic Jihad published a video<\/a> of hostage Rom Braslavski.<\/p>\n

The family has yet to approve its publication to the public, but the footage was shared by some on social media, leading David\u2019s sister to criticize those who did so. At the same time, she said, \u201cThose who have seen it now understand how serious it is and the physical condition Evyatar was in when, just 40 minutes ago, he gave me a million punches to the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former hostage Liri Albag wrote on social media, \u201cI\u2019m sitting here and I can\u2019t stop crying\u2026 Seeing the signs of life from Rom and Evyatar, right before Friday dinner, knowing I have food on the table, knowing I got out of there, and knowing it\u2019s been half a year since I was lucky enough to return, and remembering where my brothers are, realizing they\u2019re still there \u2014 it crushes me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may look strong, but I\u2019m shattered, and I\u2019m wearing a mask. I\u2019m telling you this with deep pain \u2014 we don\u2019t need such images to push for a deal. Why isn\u2019t it obvious that they should come back now? Why is it legitimate that some of our people are sitting there, starving and being tortured, going through a repeated holocaust \u2014 and we\u2019re silent?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another former hostage, Eliya Cohen, wrote:\u00a0\u201cWhen I see the videos of Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David, it takes me back to the day a terrorist came to me and said: \u2018There\u2019s no more food, no more water, no more anything. You\u2019ll eat whatever is left of our food, because your people are starving us \u2014 so we\u2019ll starve you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 I don\u2019t have an ounce of compassion for those sons of bitches. But while we\u2019re being shredded in the global media, the people we\u2019re trying to target are sitting underground, and 90 percent of the time they\u2019re in the kitchen, trading maqluba recipes, dipping hummus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Viki Cohen, mother of hostage Nimrod Cohen, posted on X: \u201cHolocaust 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israeli media do not air terror groups\u2019 propaganda clips unless asked to by the families of the hostages.<\/p>\n

Forty-nine hostages kidnapped during the October 7, 2023, attack, are still held captive in Gaza. At least 20 of the captives are thought to be alive. Hamas is also holding the body of a soldier who was killed in 2014.<\/p>\n
