Hamas released a video showing two Israeli hostages, Evyatar David and Guy Gilboa Dalal, forced to watch the release of other captives. The footage has drawn strong criticism from the families, who called it "sickening" and accused Hamas of using hostages for propaganda. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the video, citing the humiliation of the hostages. He announced a delay in the release of Palestinian prisoners that was scheduled for the same day. The families of the hostages hope the video will garner support for a continued ceasefire and their loved ones' release. They described the situation as cruel and inhumane, with one family member expressing admiration for the hostages' resilience.
