Israeli version of Saturday Night Live releases video about the Red Cross Ride Share App and an Israeli hostage.
Times of Israel Popular satire show “Eretz Nehederet” lampooned the International Committee of the Red Cross over its handling of hostages held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip, with a skit depicting the aid organization as having “pivoted to be a ride-share app.”
The ICRC, dedicated to aiding victims of war, including by visiting prisoners and detainees, has faced heavy criticism in Israel since October 7, 2023, for its failure to secure any meaningful aid for the 251 hostages taken by terrorists that day — whether by monitoring their conditions or providing them with basic humanitarian assistance, including medicine.
Amid real footage showing chaotic scenes as Red Cross vehicles transporting Israeli hostages out of Gaza were swamped by masked, armed Hamas gunmen and mobs of jeering Gazans, the voiceover goes on to explain that the Red Cross is now offering a new ride-share app.
