Gaza captivity survivor Tal Shoham told Israel’s Channel 14 on Sunday night that Hamas is deliberately starving the hostages to pressure the Israeli public into backing a ceasefire deal.
“They starved us on purpose, in a sadistic and cruel way,” Shoham told Channel 14 ‘s “The Patriots” show. According to the former hostage, “it wasn’t about a humanitarian aid shortage. Right beyond the iron door that shut us in, we heard them boasting that they had supplies for the months ahead—supplies they had stolen from their own population.”
“They also admitted that they were starving us so that we would send a message,” Shoham revealed. “They wanted us to come out broken, to shock the Israeli public and pressure the government to reach a deal.”
