Former Gaza hostage Keith Siegel on Tuesday delivered detailed testimony to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, describing the violence and psychological abuse he and fellow captives faced during 484 days in Hamas custody. Siegel said militants repeatedly threatened to kill him, at times placing a gun to his head, and that he witnessed severe beatings, sexual violence and intimidation of other detainees, including women. He singled out fellow hostage Omri Miran, noting that Miran has now been held for 641 days and urging Israeli lawmakers to intensify efforts to secure the release of those who remain in Gaza. The hearing provided the most extensive public account to date of conditions inside Hamas-run captivity since a series of partial prisoner exchanges ended last year. Committee members did not announce new policy steps, but several indicated the testimony would inform ongoing deliberations on military and diplomatic options aimed at freeing the remaining hostages.
