Qassam Brigades releases video of Israeli captive urging Trump to intervene with Netanyahu
The military wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, released a video on Wednesday showing Israeli captive Omri Miran walking through dark tunnels and later lighting a candle to mark his second birthday in captivity.
Speaking directly to the camera, he urges US President Donald Trump to force Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a negotiated deal that returns the captives home.
"Only a deal can bring us back now," Miran says.
"Netanyahu, Dermer, Smotrich, Ben Gvir, you are the reason for October 7," Miran says, referring to the ministers of strategic affairs, finance and national security, in the video where he appears to be sitting on his bed. "Because of you, I am here."
