The family of Nimrod Cohen, an Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has released photos and video footage of his abduction, which was filmed by Hamas members and recently discovered in Gaza. The footage shows Cohen being pulled out of a tank and dragged bloodied into Gaza. Cohen has been held hostage in the Gaza Strip since the attack. The family approved the release of these materials to increase public pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they accuse of prioritizing political considerations over the hostages' welfare. Netanyahu faces criticism from hostage families who fear he is sacrificing the hostages for political needs, a sentiment echoed by the family of Itay Chen, another Israeli soldier killed on October 7 whose body remains in Gaza. Freed hostage Ilana Gritzewsky addressed the United Nations, urging for the release of remaining captives. Meanwhile, there is growing concern among hostage families that U.S. President Donald Trump has aligned with Netanyahu, complicating efforts to secure the hostages' freedom. Two Americans, Itay Chen and Omer Neutra, remain among those held by Hamas. Hostage families continue to appeal for a negotiated deal to secure their loved ones' release, but Netanyahu has reportedly refused to accept such proposals.
