The Palestinian armed faction Hamas blamed Israel for the uncertainty over the fate of the hostages they are holding.

According to the Times of Israel (TOI) and Al Jazeera on the 14th (local time), Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida said in a statement broadcast on TV that day, “The fate of many Israeli hostages and detainees is uncertain,” and “Due to the Israeli attack, “Many people are in unknown tunnels,” he said.

“Perhaps many of them have died recently,” he said. “The remaining hostages are also in great danger every hour, and this is entirely the responsibility of the Israeli leadership and military.” He added, “Any dialogue is meaningless until Israel stops its attacks.”

After making this statement, Hamas released a new video showing the three prisoners. This video features captive Noah Argamani, Yossi Sharabi, and Itai Svirski. After revealing their names, they appealed to the Israeli government to stop the offensive.

However, TOI said, “It does not contain detailed information, such as when the video was filmed.” He added, “Hamas has previously released videos of hostages they are holding,” adding, “This is a deplorable psychological warfare.”

Meanwhile, starting the night before, a 24-hour rally was held in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the participation of hostage families and citizens to mark the 100th day of the war. Hostage families raised their voices criticizing the government on this day, saying it was not active in releasing the hostages. He then appealed to the government to end the war and bring the hostages to safety.

Israeli-born Hollywood actress Gal Gadot also said in a video that day, “It’s an unimaginable situation for them to be away from home for 100 days,” and “I will do anything to bring them home.” “There is no other option,” he said in support.
