In the video, Siegel and Miran spoke of not being able to celebrate Passover with their loved ones. It comes days after Hamas released a video of Israeli American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
A video of Israeli hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran was released by Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, on Saturday.
In the video, Siegel, 64, and Miran, 47, spoke about not being able to celebrate Passover with their loved ones because they are in Hamas captivity.
This is the second video of Israeli hostages Hamas has shared this week, having released a video of Israeli American Hersh Goldberg-Polin on Wednesday. NBC News has not been able to independently verify when or where the video was filmed, and it’s not clear if Siegal or Miran are still alive.
In the video, Siegel and Miran spoke of not being able to celebrate Passover with their loved ones.
Oh no, anything but not being able to worship a holiday where your god murders thousands of innocent children while your country is murdering thousands of innocent children!
(Before you get upset, just know you’re getting upset at a Jew who is saying so.)
That’s like the last thing the story should have mentioned rather than the first unless it was to point out the irony.
I’m sorry these people are hostages. I’m sorry that there are any hostages. But reporting that they can’t celebrate Passover as if that were horrible treatment is ridiculous.
They do this to give a date to the statement. To say it wasn’t recorded several months ago.
Maybe so, but that’s not the way the article was selling it.
I read that as Omni Man and got very scared for a minute
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A video of Israeli hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran was released by Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, on Saturday.
In an interview with NBC News in February, Aviva Siegel, 62, said she believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prioritizing his own political survival and his bid to crush Hamas over efforts to return the hostages.
In the Al-Qassam video, Keith Siegel and Miran both encouraged people advocating for the return of all Israeli hostages to continue protesting until a deal is reached.
“If you watched the video, you saw that my father knows we are all coming to the rally every week and fighting for him and all the captives,” Shir Siegel said in the family’s statement.
In a statement, the Hostages Forum said the “proof of life” from Siegel and Miran “is the clearest evidence that the Israeli government must do everything to approve a deal for the return of all the hostages before Independence Day.” Independence Day in Israel is commemorated on May 14, and marks the day the Jewish state declared itself a country in the Middle East.
“Now is the time for the government and its leader to prove through actions their commitment to the citizens of Israel who await the return of the hostages,” the organization said.
The original article contains 479 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
For not having taken civilians as hostages on the 7th of October, Hamas sure releases a lot of videos on civilian hostages…
For not having taken civilians as hostages on the 7th of October
Said no one ever.
