Hamas has stated its willingness to coordinate with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to deliver aid to hostages it holds in Gaza, contingent on Israel meeting specific conditions. These conditions include the opening of humanitarian corridors and a halt to Israeli airstrikes. The announcement follows the release of videos by Hamas showing emaciated Israeli captives, which sparked international criticism. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appealed to the Red Cross for urgent assistance for the hostages. Hamas has also warned that Israel's plans to expand its offensive and occupy Gaza could result in the sacrifice of the hostages. The situation has prompted protests against the closure of the Rafah crossing and the blockade on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
