Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep shock and consternation after videos surfaced showing Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. In response, Netanyahu has appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide immediate humanitarian aid, including food and medical treatment, to the captives. Hamas has indicated willingness to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver this aid but has set conditions requiring Israel to open permanent humanitarian corridors and halt all airstrikes during the delivery process. The Hamas armed wing emphasized the need for Israel to stop airstrikes to ensure safe passage for aid. The situation follows the release of distressing videos of hostages such as Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski, which have drawn widespread condemnation. The Red Cross has acknowledged Netanyahu's request, and the ongoing dialogue highlights the complex humanitarian and security challenges in Gaza amid the hostage crisis.
