Sky News Australia host Rowan Dean criticized participants of an anti-Israel march in Sydney, accusing them of ignoring the plight of hostage Evyatar David. Dean referenced a distressing video released by Hamas showing David severely malnourished and claimed that those marching were supporting the perpetrators of such acts. He emphasized that the family of David wanted the footage to be seen to highlight the suffering endured by hostages since October 2023. Dean called on marchers to show support for David instead of ignoring his situation.
