Hamas Hostages Make Pleas for Release in New Videos: Keith Siegel and Omri Miran

Hamas has released more videos showing US and Israeli hostages alive, including Keith Siegel and Omri Miran. Both men were captured by Hamas in Gaza during the attacks on October 7. In one of the clips, Mr. Siegel makes a plea to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate with Hamas for a hostage release deal. Mr. Miran says in the video that he has been held captive for 202 days, indicating that the video was filmed this week on Thursday. The two men, visibly under duress, also said they were unable to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Passover, which ended on Tuesday. Hamas has released several videos of hostages in recent days. The Israeli government has not issued a comment on the latest hostage video shared by Hamas.

The families of the hostages still held by Hamas have repeatedly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government for not doing enough to secure their release. Around 250 people are believed to be abducted by Hamas and other militant groups on October 7. These groups likely still have around 100 hostages in their captivity and the remains of nearly 30 others. Most of the rest were freed in November in exchange for the release of 240 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
