JPost (h/t Nita) The Telegraph cited two Israeli officials, who said the videos show hostages being tortured in an attempt to force Israel to ease conditions for Palestinian prisoners.
These reports follow allegations that Palestinians are being held at the Sde Teiman base in southern Israel and the conditions that prisoners are held in. Ben-Gvir is against a hostage deal that would see the end of the Israel-Hamas war and the exchange of thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
The Telegraph noted that the video has intensified the rift between the Shin Bet(Israel Security Agency) over Palestinian prisoners, with Ben-Gvir doubling down on his decisions after allegedly viewing the videos.
In a post to X, Ben-Gvir wrote:
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum responded to the developments, stating, “There is no need for additional videos to know the obvious: For 296 days, the hostages have been subjected to physical and mental torture, starved, and held in inhumane conditions.”
“The National Security Minister, as well as the Prime Minister and cabinet members, have only one responsibility: To approve a deal now! A deal that will allow the release of all 115 hostages and stop the torture they and their families are forced to go through,” the statement concluded.

This makes me hopping mad. The hostages are to say the truth lost then these things wont give them back no matter what we do for them. Israel needs to speed up the work and kill these things before the woke west stops all programs. Go kick asses and let the others take the names is what i say and as i see it Israel says the same. Hopping mad is what i am.

When you was one with the knowledge that you have i do believe that you or any sane person would commit suicide then to be the lowest lifeform is not super is it. When the knowledge is missing then you or i would probable be standing with these imbecils. The knowledge will lead you to the truth and who leads these things. The word things is what i use to describe them then human they are certainly not and as far as i know it there is no such thing as a .alstine folk so we call them the Fakeistinians then fake is what they are and no more.
