The brother of Israeli hostage Evjatar David appealed to planet leaders at the UN safety Council to respond to Hamas atrocities. The Palestinian organization late published a video depicting an highly thin 24-year-old man who has been in captivity in the Gaza Strip for over 660 days. On the video, the hostage digs a gap that he says himself will become his grave.
"We're all responsible. I address the planet leaders, all associate of this Council and the full world: your silence in the face of this terrible cruelty means participation" - said Ilaj David via video link at the UN safety Council gathering on the situation in Gaza and Israeli hostages.
His brother, Evjatar David, has been in Hamas captivity in Gaza for over 660 days. A fewer days ago, the Palestinian organization published a video of David who was highly thin.
The hostage is digging his own grave
A 24-year-old man says on the video that he hasn't eaten for days, and he's barely getting a drinkable water. The hostage is digging a gap that he says himself will become his grave. David was kidnapped during the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and is 1 of about 20 surviving hostages.
The kidnapped brother stressed that according to the evidence of the freed Hamas, he deliberately starves hostages, although he has food supplies. Tuesday's UNSC gathering was convened at Israel's request following the publication of films depicting David and another clearly thin and weakened hostage, Roma Braslawski.
Criticism of the designation of the Palestinian State
Head of Israeli diplomacy Gideon Saar, speaking to journalists in fresh York, criticized the states that announced the designation of the Palestinian state. He considered this to be the reward of Hamas, which resulted in prolonged war.
In turn, Jenca assessed as "deeply alarming" reports of possible intensification of the Israeli offensive after the failure of another circular of talks about the ceasefire. According to the media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to occupy the full Gaza Strip and its occupation.
Such actions would have disastrous consequences and could endanger the remaining hostages - warned the UN Deputy Secretary-General.
War in Gaza
The war in the Gaza Strip has been going on since October 7, 2023, erstwhile the ruling Hamas territory invaded confederate Israel, killing about 1,200 people.
Since then, more than 61,000 Palestinians have died in Israeli retaliation. In fresh weeks, global criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza has been growing. In the ruined Palestinian war, the humanitarian crisis is deepening.
International organisations inform that a large part of the population is at hazard of starvation and the current supply of aid is insufficient.
