Hamas has released multiple videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages held in Gaza, including a 24-year-old hostage, Evyatar David, who is seen digging his own grave in a tunnel. These disturbing images have drawn widespread condemnation from international leaders and organizations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed being "deeply shocked" and "consterné" by the footage, speaking directly with the families of the hostages and vowing to eliminate Hamas. French President Emmanuel Macron described the videos as "an abject cruelty" and "an unlimited inhumanity," emphasizing the urgent priority of securing the hostages' release. The European Union's foreign affairs officials also condemned the videos, calling them "horrific" and exposing the "barbarity of Hamas." The hostage families have condemned the videos as propaganda and a "vile hunger campaign." The ongoing conflict in Gaza is marked by worsening humanitarian conditions, with reports of starvation and continued Israeli military actions around humanitarian aid sites. The videos have reignited debates within Israel and drawn international outrage over Hamas's treatment of the hostages.
