The Hostage and Missing Families Forum has identified the men in the video as Keith Siegel and hostages-meet-the-media-tomorrow-in-rome-italia-mondo/” title=”Family members of Israeli hostages meet the media tomorrow in Rome – Italia-Mondo”>Omri Miran, who were kidnapped in a Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. Mr. Siegel also holds US citizenship.
“Keith Siegel and Omri Miran being alive is the clearest evidence that the Israeli government must do everything in its power to confirm an agreement for the return of all hostages by Independence Day (May 14),” the forum said in a statement.
“The living should return for rehabilitation and the slain should be given a dignified burial,” the statement added.
The video comes three days after an earlier video released by Hamas in which hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin speaks.
I have been held captive by Hamas for 202 days. The situation here is unpleasant, difficult, there are many bombs,” says 47-year-old O. Miran in the footage filmed at the beginning of this week.
“It’s time to reach a deal that will help us get out of here safe and sound… Keep protesting to get a deal,” he said.
Hamas said on Saturday it was considering Israel’s latest proposal for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Before that, there were reports that mediator Egypt had sent a delegation to Israel to resume stalled talks.
