Israeli-Argentine hostage Eitan Horn was kidnapped on October 7, 2023, and has been held in the Gaza Strip ever since. Video shows Eitan parting ways with his elder brother Iair, who was also kidnapped but freed two weeks ago under the 42-day initial phase of a Gaza truce deal between Israel and Hamas. In response, Netanyahu’s office denounced the video as \”Hamas propaganda,\” in which \”hostages are forced to convey psychological warfare messages\” Israel says it will continue to work tirelessly to return all hostages and meet all war goals. Currently, 59 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza, with 24 of them still believed to be alive. Hamas called for international pressure on Israel to proceed to the second phase of the deal, while Israel insisted on only extending the first phase for an additional 42 days with more swaps of hostages and detainees.
