Israeli hostage held by Al-Qassam: "Netanyahu, is the killing of Israelis not enough for you?"
Israeli hostages held by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, expressed their anger, stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is killing them by "refusing to conduct a prisoner exchange."

The Al-Qassam Brigades released a video on their Telegram account featuring Israeli hostages addressing Netanyahu.
One of the three female hostages in the video drew attention to the press conference held yesterday for the families of the hostages, saying, "We know there should be a ceasefire and that you should release us. You promised to set us free."
''WE ARE LIVING THROUGH YOUR DISGRACE''
The Israeli woman addressed Netanyahu, saying:
"We are bearing the burden of your political, military, and security disgrace. Because you messed things up on October 7. Because there was no army there, no one came, no one protected us. We are captives under conditions where there are no 'terms'. (Netanyahu) You are killing us, do you want to kill us all, do you want to kill us all with the Israeli army, isn't it enough that you massacred everyone, isn't the killing of Israeli citizens enough for you?"
The Israeli woman, who demanded that Netanyahu conduct a prisoner exchange, said, "Release us now. (Referring to Palestinians) Release their citizens and prisoners immediately. Release everyone so we can return to our families. Now!"
