The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) released a video of two hostages on Tuesday night who are pleading to be released.
The hostages, Elad Katzir, 47, and Gadi Mozes, 79, are both from Kibbutz Nir Oz, one of the communities bordering Gaza that was attacked on October 7 by Hamas.
The video saw the two men calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and National Unity Party leader Benny Gantz to act further for their release and warned of the dangers of them continuing to remain in captivity.

Mozes’s ex-wife, Margalit, mother to three and grandmother to ten, was released earlier during the brief truce deal. Mozes’s most recent partner, Efrat Katz, was murdered in the Hamas massacre, Hebrew media reported. N12 also reports that Mozes lacks the medicine he needs in captivity.
Efrat’s daughter, Doron, and her two daughters, Aviv and Raz, were also kidnapped but were among the first released last month as a part of the temporary truce deal.
The other hostage, Elad Katzir, is the son of Hannah Katzir, who was also released in the brief truce deal. His father, Rami, was murdered on October 7. The PIJ had previously said before Hannah’s release that she had “died of medical complications,” which was revealed to be a lie.
The two are seen in the video being in “stable condition,” N12 reports.
This comes one day after Hamas released a video of another three hostages in their captivity: Haim Perry, Yoram Metzger, and Amiram Koper.
