Brother of Israeli hostage urges UN to act after video shows Hamas starving and torturing captives

Ilay David, brother of hostage Evyatar David, delivered an emotional plea to the United Nations Security Council, urging immediate international action after a disturbing video showed his brother emaciated and forced to dig his own grave in a Hamas tunnel. The session was convened amid the collapse of ceasefire talks and the release of images depicting the dire conditions faced by hostages, who are reportedly being starved while their captors have ample food. Israeli officials condemned the treatment of hostages as barbaric, warning that recent international moves to recognize a Palestinian state have emboldened Hamas and hindered negotiations. Ilay David called on world leaders to break their silence and act swiftly to save the remaining hostages, emphasizing the profound humanitarian crisis unfolding.
