Or disclosed the abuse he endured during captivity, following the recent release of footage from the 'tunnel of horrors,' where six hostages were executed less than two weeks ago. Israeli national news reports.

In an Instagram post, Liam wrote, "It's easy to discuss hostages as a headline while forgetting that they are people who have been enduring a Holocaust for nearly a year. I was one of them."

He mentioned he is currently in Thailand and recovering well. "All I can think about are those days when I slept with my hands bound behind my back, on sand and stones," he said. He described how he was given a small piece of cake once a day, intended to prolong his suffering rather than end it quickly. "With my hands tied, I was powerless to stop the abuse from the captors."

Liam emphasized the urgency for the families to be reunited with their loved ones, stating, "Families need to see their loved ones. Bring them home already— and if that's not possible, please don’t make it harder for the families of the hostages."
