The families of Israeli hostages Maxim Herkin and Bar Kuperstein have authorized the release of a deeply unsettling video snippet originally published by Hamas in April. This 44-second clip shows the two men, visibly distressed and pleading for their lives, as part of a strategic push by the families to secure a comprehensive hostage return deal with Hamas, rather than partial agreements. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has condemned what it calls "cruel selections," demanding the return of all hostages.
