Terror-labeled Hamas published on Saturday a video recording of two of those taken hostage on October 7 in the attack on Israel. The recording, which was released by Hamas’ armed wing, came as negotiations are underway over a possible exchange of hostages and Palestinians in Israeli custody.
The video shows the two hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran pleading for a solution to the hostage issue.
“It’s time to reach a deal that gets us out of here,” Miran said, calling for continued Israeli protests to get the Israeli government to strike a deal.
The authenticity of the video, or when it was recorded, could not be confirmed. However, the Israeli organization working for the release of the hostages was able to confirm that it is Siegel and Miran, and that the video was probably recorded earlier this week.
The two appear to have appeared under duress.
