Israel PM calls Hamas hostage video ‘cruel propaganda’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced as “cruel psychological propaganda” a Hamas video showing three hostages taken during the October 7 attacks, AFP reports.

“This is cruel psychological propaganda by Hamas-ISIS,” Netanyahu said in comments released by his office soon after the video was released.

Netanyahu named the three women as Yelena Trupanob, Daniel Aloni and Rimon Kirsht, and vowed “to bring all the abducted and missing people home”.

Israel says at least 239 people were kidnapped in the raids launched on October 7 and 1,400 were killed.
