Israel called for a UN Security Council meeting to demand the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, following a video showing a malnourished hostage. While the plight of Israeli hostages received sympathy, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by Israel's blockade, drew significant attention. Israeli officials accused Hamas of not feeding the hostages and stealing aid, while UN representatives condemned both Hamas for taking hostages and Israel for its humanitarian impact on Palestinians. The situation remains dire, with significant casualties reported on both sides. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
