Dec 7, 2024, 03:17 PM
Hamas has released a propaganda video featuring Israeli hostage Matan Zangauker, marking the first sign of life for months. The video, which is not dated, shows Zangauker, aged 25, stating that he has been held for over 420 days, indicating it was filmed recently. The release of this video comes amidst reports from the Israeli Foreign Minister suggesting an opportunity to reach a deal on the hostages in Gaza. The video's release is seen as a psychological act of terror, aimed at pressuring the Israeli government, particularly Prime Minister Netanyahu, to negotiate a deal for the hostages' release. Matan Zangauker's family has approved the release of the video to the media.
