Is Hamas considering taking more hostages because it doesn't look like they need to spare any food since they seem to be short of just this?
Large protests in Israel after videos of hostages were circulated. In the video, Evyatar David is seen sitting in a dark room and showing the notes he seems to keep about what he eats each day. Sometimes he goes several days without food, he says. Evyatar is also seen digging a grave that he says will be his own. At the end of the video from Hamas' branch, it states that only a ceasefire will bring them back alive. After the publications, tens of thousands of demonstrators also gathered in Tel Aviv to demand that Israel and the US ensure the hostages are released. See the report on SVT News.

This is due to the videos that have circulated of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas in 2023. The organization responded by stating that they need access to the hostages to be able to deliver the aid.On Sunday, Hamas' armed wing stated that it can be arranged. For this to happen, Hamas wants Israel to open the humanitarian corridors and that air traffic ceases when the aid is delivered to the hostages. See the article on SVT News.
