The families of hostages Yosef Haim Ohana and Elkana Bohbot have approved the release of a captivity video published by Hamas. In the video, Haim Ohana is seen speaking about Bohbot, who is lying beside him, saying: 'Since we heard that the war is being extended and understood how it endangers our lives, our world has collapsed, we've lost hope. What are you waiting for?' Ohana addressed decision-makers saying: 'An entire country wants this nightmare to end.' The video and statements are published with family approval. It is likely that the statements made in the video were dictated by the captors as part of Hamas's psychological warfare.
