Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar delivered a forceful message on Saturday evening to his counterparts worldwide, following the harrowing images of hostages who returned to Israel from Hamas captivity.
“Look at these images,” Sa’ar said. “How many times have you spoken about hunger in Gaza? Who looks malnourished—the terrorists or our hostages? They look like Holocaust survivors. The Nazi evil of Hamas must be eradicated.”

“Hamas Monsters—Their Blood Is on Their Own Heads”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also addressed the condition of the returning hostages, stating: “Or, Eli, and Ohad returned home today. Sara and I embrace them and their dear families. Once again, we have seen the true nature of Hamas monsters—these are the same terrorists who butchered our civilians and tormented our hostages. And I tell them again: their blood is on their own heads.”
Families of Hostages: “Like Concentration Camp Survivors”
The Tikva Forum, which represents the families of the hostages, expressed deep shock at the severe condition of their loved ones upon their return. “When we said Hamas is no different from the Nazis, we meant it,” the families stated. “The horrifying images of the hostages prove it. We were promised that humanitarian aid would reach the hostages, but they received nothing.”
The families pledged to continue fighting for the return of all remaining hostages. “To the families of Sharabi, Ben Ami, and Levy—we are deeply moved along with you and wish good health to your loved ones who have returned from hell.”
