Israeli President Isaac Herzog has called on world leaders to take action following the release of footage showing Israeli hostages suffering in captivity under Hamas. Herzog described the severe conditions faced by the hostages, including starvation and torture, and accused Hamas of also depriving Gaza's civilian population by seizing humanitarian aid. He criticized Hamas for spreading misinformation and urged the international community to demand the release of hostages and ensure that aid reaches those in need, not militants. Herzog emphasized the moral responsibility of the global community, stating that silence in the face of such cruelty is unacceptable.
