Zionist captive to Netanyahu: We die a thousand times every day

A Zionist captive has denounced the Israeli prime minister for his insistence on refusing to bring an end to Tel Aviv’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which is the coastal sliver’s resistance groups’ condition for releasing the regime’s captives, who are being held in the territory.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A Zionist captive has denounced the Israeli prime minister for his insistence on refusing to bring an end to Tel Aviv’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which is the coastal sliver’s resistance groups’ condition for releasing the regime’s captives, who are being held in the territory.

Matan Zangauker, as the captive identified himself, made the remarks in a video published by Ezzedine al-Qassam, the armed wing of the Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas, on Saturday.

“We are very afraid, my friends and I, for our lives. And we die a thousand times every day and no one feels for us,” he said, addressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Zangauker was among hundreds of Zionists, who were captured by Gaza’s resistance groups last October in a historic retaliatory operation against the occupied Palestinian territories that was staged in response to the regime’s decades-long campaign of deadly aggression against Palestinians.

The captive said he was “very disappointed” in finding out that instead of ending the war, the Israeli premier had said he would pay out $5 million to whoever returned the captives safely.

“Now, I am certain that you do not know your enemies. And you do not understand their mentality. And this is your failure,” he said.

Zangauker called on those across the occupied territories not to neglect the captives.

“We are still alive. We want to return before we go crazy. Isolation is killing us and the darkness here is frightening.”

The regime in Tel Aviv was, however, “leaving us to die and fall,” the captive said.

He said it was “illogical” that the captives had to pay the price of the regime’s “mistakes,” adding, “It is time to put an end to our suffering.”

He called on those across the occupied territories to step up pressure on the regime, turning up for protest in front of Netanyahu’s residence, “and not let him sleep for even a minute.”

“We are suffering. It is more appropriate for him and his family to suffer like us.”

The video ends with a superimposed text reading, “Time is running out.”

On Wednesday, the families of the captives released an AI-generated video showing Netanyahu’s son, Yair, in Hamas captivity as a means of mounting further pressure on the Israeli official.

It showed an AI-generated version of the premier’s son pleading for help and saying, “My life is in danger” because of the Israeli military’s relentless bombing of Gaza.

According to Hamas, the death toll among the captives has risen to 33 as a result of intense Israeli attacks against the territory and the resistance’s reaction to the genocidal war.

In a video message on Monday, Hamas had said the deaths had been caused and some other captives had gone missing “because of the criminal Netanyahu and his fascist army.”

Towards its end, the video incorporated angry remarks by three female captives, who blamed Netanyahu for their ordeal and the deaths of their fellow captives.

The war has so far claimed the lives of at least 44,644 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The Israeli premier has, however, vowed to sustain the onslaught until Hamas’ “elimination,” a prospect that has been ruled out as impossible by the group and even some Israeli officials and Tel Aviv’s own allies.
