Israeli captive: Release us now, release their prisoners, let us go back to our families

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Israeli captive: Release us now, release their prisoners, let us go back to our families” – below is their description.

Hamas has released a video of captives its holding in Gaza. In it, they are heard criticising the Israeli government’s refusal to agree to a prisoners exchange.

In the video — which Al Jazeera has decided not to show — one of the captives directly addresses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying:

‘We are bearing the responsibility of your political, security and military failure on October 7th.

There was no army. No one arrived, No one protected us.

We are innocent citizens who pay taxes to Israel, we are in captivity in a bad condition. You are killing us.’

The captive woman goes on to say:

‘Release us now. Release their citizens, release their prisoners, release all of us. Let us go back to our families.’

Al Jazeera’s Sara Khairat is live for us in Occupied East Jerusalem for the latest updates.
