Eli Sharabi, who endured 491 days as a hostage held by Hamas, delivered a powerful message to the United Nations Security Council. He recounted the harsh conditions of his captivity and the constant fear for his life and the lives of other hostages. Sharabi passionately called for the immediate release of all remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
Sharabi also raised concerns about the distribution of humanitarian aid within Gaza. He claimed that a portion of the aid intended for civilians is being seized and used to support Hamas's terrorist activities. He urged the UN to ensure that aid reaches its intended recipients and is not used to further fuel the conflict.
"No more excuses," Sharabi stated emphatically. He implored the Security Council to take decisive action to secure the hostages' release and prevent aid from falling into the wrong hands. His testimony served as a stark reminder of the human cost of the ongoing conflict and the urgent need for a resolution.
