President Isaac Herzog spoke with International Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric and presented her with the danger facing the hostages and the need to act in every way to assist them immediately. He explained that: "The health condition of the hostages is severe, and it appears from the footage that there is a real concern for their lives. The horrific footage of Evyatar David and Rom Braslavsky showing their protruding bones as a result of starvation exposes the depth of suffering of the hostages who are undergoing abuse." During the conversation, the president emphasized the need for Red Cross assistance in providing medical treatment to the hostages.
