Netanyahu: Videos of emaciated hostages prove that Hamas ‘doesn’t want a deal’



Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the recently released videos of two severely emaciated hostages in Gaza prove that Hamas has no interest in reaching a hostage release deal, and that the footage has strengthened his resolve to “eliminate” the terror group, in a video message shared by his office.

After viewing the videos of hostages Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David, Netanyahu says: “I understand exactly what Hamas wants. It doesn’t want a deal. It wants to break us — with these horrifying videos, with the false horror propaganda it spreads across the world.”

Addressing the Israeli public, the premier says he was “shocked” by “the horrifying videos,” after which he spoke with the hostages’ families. He adds that while hostages are “wasting away in a dungeon… the Hamas monsters surrounding them — they have thick, fleshy arms. They have everything they need to eat. They are starving them the way the Nazis starved the Jews.”

“But we will not break,” he continues, adding: “I am filled with even greater determination to free our captive sons, to eliminate Hamas, and to ensure that Gaza will never again pose a threat to Israel.”
