Freed Israeli Hostage Condemns Hamas and Global Inaction at UN

Eli Sharabi recounts 491 days of torture and starvation, urging immediate action to free remaining hostages in Gaza.

Eli Sharabi, an Israeli hostage held by Hamas for 491 days, testified before the UN Security Council, describing severe abuse, starvation, and captivity underground.
Sharabi accused Hamas of stealing humanitarian aid intended for civilians and hostages, using it to feed their fighters while hostages were left to starve.
He criticized the United Nations, the Red Cross, and global leaders for failing to act decisively to ensure aid reached civilians and to secure hostages' release.
Sharabi called for immediate international action to free the 59 remaining hostages in Gaza, 24 of whom are believed to be alive.
The collapse of a ceasefire has reignited violence, with renewed Israeli airstrikes in Gaza causing significant casualties and escalating tensions.
