The Hamas terror group on Saturday published footage of hostage Matan Zangauker, who was kidnapped to Gaza during the October 7 massacre, together with his girlfriend Ilana Gritzewsky.

Gritzewsky was released in the November 2023 prisoner swap deal.

Last week, Hamas published footage of hostage Edan Alexander. In the video clip, Alexander, an American citizen, said that he had been held for over 420 days, and asked US President-elect Donald Trump to free him.

In the video clip, Zangauker turns to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he is "very disappointed" in the offer to give anyone who brings a hostage home alive a sum of $5 million and safe exit from Gaza.

"You do not understand your enemies' mentality," he said, adding that the prisoners "die a thousand times a day, and no one feels for us."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Cynical manipulation, just like the last video. They have the hostage's scripted message mention a current event, the $5M offer, so as to prove that he's still alive, and try to orchestrate protests against Bibi, so as to pressure him into a bad cease fire that will give Hamas time to regroup and find a new rout for rearming and rearming.

I'm no fan of Bibi, but if Hamas wants me to protest, I'll make a point of not protesting. They got my birthday wrong. I was born the day before yesterday.

Hilltop settlements he tore down. Middle fingers he didn’t raise in a timely manner to Obama and Biden. Cease agreement he knows is no good...

The fact that the entire Israeli government was caught napping on 7 October of last year, and the conspiracy theories as a result that I dutifully pooh pooh, but inwardly wonder about.

But he does make some stirring speeches for the UN to ignore. He’s good at that. He’d make a great ambassador to the UN.
