Watan-The military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, released a new video today, Wednesday, featuring an Israeli captive who delivers a harsh message to the Netanyahu government and the officials of the occupying army.
The Israeli captive appeared in the footage obtained by Al-Jazeera, condemning the neglect of the Israeli government towards Israeli prisoners in Gaza, and demanding action for his release and that of the other prisoners.
The message from the Israeli captive in Gaza to Netanyahu and his government
The captive Hirsch Goldberg Bolin said that Netanyahu and his government should be ashamed of themselves after this colossal failure.
At the beginning of the video, the Israeli captive introduced himself, saying, “Hello, I am Hirsch Goldberg Bolin, son of Jonathan and Rachel, born on March 10, 2000, in California, United States, and I currently live with my family in Jerusalem.”
The Israeli captive, Bolin, pointed out that he was captured by the resistance on October 7th during a “Nova” celebration in Re’im. He continued, showing his severed hand in the attack, “I went out for entertainment with my friends, and instead, I found myself struggling to survive with serious injuries all over my body… Nevertheless, I took it upon myself to protect myself and frightened people around me because there was no one to help us that day.”

Bolin expressed his anger towards the Israeli government and army, saying, “Because you neglected us along with thousands of other citizens… You should be ashamed of yourselves for leaving us for 200 days, and all the efforts of the army have failed, and because air strikes killed about 70 prisoners like me.”
The Israeli captive continued his attack, “And you should also be ashamed because you rejected all the deals offered to you. Don’t you want to end this nightmare?”
He then criticized Netanyahu and his government members, demanding action, “While you are having lunch parties with your families, think of us, the prisoners in hell underground, without water, hope, or sunlight, without the treatment I needed for a long time… I ask the government, the army, and the cabinet to act to save us from this hell.”
The Gaza war has surpassed 200 days with the continuation of the brutal Israeli aggression on the besieged enclave, in a blind retaliation campaign against Palestinian civilians, following the severe losses suffered by the occupation due to the October 7th attack, and after its failure to free its captives or reach Hamas fighters as it claimed at the beginning of the ground invasion.
