Hamas releases video of alleged Israeli prisoners rebuking Netanyahu

Hamas' armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, released a video of what the group said were prisoners held by their members in Gaza.

One of the three women filmed in the video addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The unnamed prisoner rebuked the premier for purportedly rejecting a ceasefire with Hamas that could facilitate their release.

"Netanyahu has failed politically and militarily, and we demand that he return all the prisoners immediately," she said. "The day before yesterday there were discussions about a ceasefire and the release of everyone, but Netanyahu backed down."

The video ended with a passionate appeal to Netanyahu to bring back all prisoners "now, now, now".  

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the authenticity of the video or claims made in it.
