Israeli occupation’s foreign ministry comments on its prisoner’s emaciated appearance

OCCUPIED QUDS, Aug. 02 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation’s Foreign Ministry, in a rare precedent, commented on the video released by the Al-Qassam Brigades of its captive soldier, Eviatar David, on Saturday evening.

The video showed the Israeli captive suffering from severe emaciation and malnutrition, describing his situation as tragic in light of what he called “a complete abandonment by the Netanyahu government.”

The Israeli foreign ministry said in a brief statement, “This is the real famine in the Gaza Strip. All our prisoners must be released immediately, without delay.”

This official comment is the first indirect acknowledgement by the Israeli government of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, both among the Strip’s residents and among the Israeli prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance.
