In the video, Goldberg-Polin accused Netanyahu government of abandoning the people who are being held in Gaza by Palestinian fightersHe also claimed that some 70 captives have been killed in Israel's indiscriminate bombardment and invasion on the tiny Palestinian enclave since last year that has also killed at least 34,262 Palestinians — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 77,229 others.
Palestinian fighters also took more than 250 hostages and presently 130 remain in Gaza, including 34 who the Israeli army says are dead, some of them killed in indiscriminate Israeli strikes. Most of the rest were freed in November in exchange for the release of 240 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. But Israel has since then abducted thousands of Palestinians.
His parents said they were relieved to see him alive but were concerned about his health and well-being, as well as that of the other hostages. Hostages' families have accused Netanyahu of not doing enough to secure the release of their relatives. His family was"searching the world for any sign of him," al Hayya said in an interview with Hamas-runHamas' armed wing"sent a strong message by publishing this young man’s message directed at Netanyahu," al Hayya said.
