Israeli Hostage in Gaza Attempts Suicide, Islamic Jihad Cites Netanyahu's Conditions
Jan 2, 2025, 01:00 PM
An Israeli hostage held by Gaza's Islamic Jihad reportedly attempted suicide three days ago, according to a video statement by Abu Hamza, the spokesperson for the group's armed wing, Al-Quds Brigades. The hostage's suicide attempt was allegedly due to psychological distress, and medical teams from the group intervened to save his life. The hostage was reportedly scheduled for release as part of an exchange deal, but the negotiations have stalled, with Islamic Jihad blaming new conditions imposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. The group has announced plans to tighten security measures for hostages following the incident. Israeli authorities have not commented on the claims. The hostage's current condition remains unclear.
