The families of several Israeli female soldiers taken hostage during the
Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7 released video of their abduction in an attempt to
pressure the Israeli government to revive apparently stalled cease-fire talks
that could pave the way for the captives’ release.

Family members first saw the footage a few weeks ago via the Israeli military,
which formally handed them a copy on Tuesday night, according to the Hostages
and Missing Families Forum, which represents families of hostages held captive
in Gaza.

“I’m asking you, please show this clip every day, open your broadcasts with it,”
Eli Albag, whose daughter Liri Albag can be seen in the video, said in a
television interview with Israel’s Channel 12. “Until somebody wakes up, the
nation wakes up, and realizes that they’ve been abandoned there for 229 days.”

Some Israeli politicians immediately seized on the images to try to rebuff the
decision by Ireland, Norway, and Spain to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian
state. Israel Katz, the foreign minister, said he would screen the footage
during a “severe reprimand” of the countries’ ambassadors.

In the three-minute edited collection of videos, which were verified by The New
York Times, Palestinian fighters, some wearing Hamas headbands, can be seen
binding the hands of five Israeli women who served as lookouts at Nahal Oz, a
military base near the Gaza border. At least two of the hostages’ faces are
bloodied, and they appear to be wearing pajamas. The militants repeatedly
threaten the women.

One of the militants calls the women “dogs,” vowing to crush them. One of the
women can be heard telling the militants that she had “a friend in Palestine,”
even as another begs to know if any of them speak English.
