Hamas has released a hostage video on the same day as the Palestinian statehood conference, drawing international attention to the ongoing conflict. Among the hostages is Ohad Ben Ami, who was held in Gaza by Hamas until earlier this year. Demonstrators gathered outside the Israeli prime minister’s residence in Jerusalem, demanding the release of remaining hostages.
The release of the video is seen as a strategic move by Hamas to gain media attention and public sympathy during the critical statehood conference. The demonstrators’ presence outside the Israeli prime minister’s residence highlights the deepening tensions and the high stakes involved in the hostage situation. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, hoping for a peaceful resolution.
