The undated 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, released on Sunday night showed them speaking presumably under duress, pleading with Israel’s government to end the war and get them home.
The clip ended with a Hamas caption that on Monday, “we will inform you of their fate”. Israel has blasted such videos as psychological warfare and insists it will not be deflected from its goals in Gaza, after Hamas launched raids into southern Israel on October 7 that claimed 1,200 lives.
Among the targets was a music festival from which Ms Argamani and her boyfriend were seized. An early clip released by Hamas showed her pleading for her life as she was taken away on the back of a motorbike.
I was referring to Israel slowly grabbing land and displacing the population in favour of their own settlers.

They even forcefully removed their own citizens who didn’t move willingly.
And literally in the same month, they started blockading Gaza. This was an act meant to divide Palestinians into Gazans and West Bankers, not a step taken by the peace-loving Israeli government to bring about an end to the conflict. This is the reasoning of the guy who suggested the idea, hence the blockade because they can’t have a success example in Gaza (or anywhere in Palestine).
I think they mean all the land that Israel is occupying since 1948. Sure, maybe a few settlements were dismantled in 2005. Doesn’t change that they are still occupying almost 80% of Palestine, and have been for about 70 years.
Which Middle Eastern country should they move back to then?
I don’t know, but maybe find a solution everyone is okay with instead of just violently taking the land.
Oh I see. Hamas is mostly a Gazan organization, but I see what you mean.
