Urgent Call for Hostage Release

  • 🚨 Israel's Foreign Minister Gidonsar called for an urgent UN Security Council session following the release of horrific footage showing hostages Avat Davidid and Rome Braski in terrible conditions.
  • 📌 The minister emphasized that these innocent souls, held in Hamas terror tunnels, must not be forgotten.
  • 🌍 The primary purpose of his visit to the UN was to place the issue of hostages front and center on the world stage.

Hamas's Atrocities and Propaganda

  • 🕯️ On October 7th, Hamas committed evil crimes, likened to those of the Nazis and ISIS, taking 251 hostages, with 50 still held captive.
  • 💀 The world witnessed the cruel starvation and torture of hostages, described as "living skeletons," with one forced to dig his own grave, an act deemed satanic.
  • 📢 Hamas and Islamic Jihad are accused of using starvation and torture as part of a deliberate, sadistic propaganda campaign.

Israel's Actions and International Pressure

  • 🚚 Israel asserts it is facilitating huge amounts of aid into Gaza, stating no other country acts this way under such difficult circumstances during wartime.
  • ⚠️ The minister criticized countries that pressured Israel instead of Hamas during sensitive negotiations, accusing them of giving Hamas free gifts and incentives to continue the war.
  • 🕊️ These actions, including the recognition of a Palestinian state, are blamed for directly assassinating the hostage deal and ceasefire, thereby prolonging the war.

Responsibility for the Conflict

  • 💥 Hamas is held responsible for beginning the war by invading Israel and committing atrocities on October 7th.
  • 🚫 Hamas is also responsible for the war's continuation by refusing to release hostages and lay down its arms.
  • 🎯 The international community's pressure must be directed at Hamas; anything else only prolongs the conflict.
