Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades published a video of 24-year-old Israeli captive Alon Ohel, who said he has been held in Gaza for more than 700 days. Ohel blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “stubbornness” for his continued captivity.
In the footage, he urged the US to stop supporting Netanyahu, calling on envoy Steve Witkoff not to “allow Netanyahu to kill us.” Ohel claimed the Israeli government sees the captives as a burden despite efforts to secure their release.
