Herzog Urges Immediate UN Action on Hostage Crisis Amid Winter Threat

UN faces moral obligation to rescue remaining Hostages held by Hamas, says Herzog

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has called on the United Nations to act urgently to bring home the 100 hostages still being held by Hamas, following the submission of a harrowing report detailing the abuse the captives endured. The report, which will be presented to the UN this week, outlines the physical and psychological torture, starvation, sexual abuse, and beatings faced by the hostages during their captivity in Gaza.

Herzog shared his outrage on social media, highlighting the brutal conditions described in the report, which is based on testimony from the hostages who have since been released. "Torture. Physical and psychological torture. Starvation. Sexual abuse. Beatings. Branding," Herzog wrote, calling attention to the unspeakable trauma suffered by the hostages.

While some captives have been freed, Herzog emphasized that for over 450 days, 100 hostages—men, women, children, and the elderly—remain imprisoned in Gaza, facing increasing danger as winter approaches. He stressed that the UN, fully aware of the facts, has a moral obligation to do everything in its power to secure their immediate release, according to channel 7 news reports.

The report submitted to the UN is divided into two parts. The first section documents the abuse and degradation suffered by those freed, with detailed accounts from medical teams who treated the survivors upon their return to Israel. The second part of the report outlines recommended rehabilitation strategies for the returnees, based on the care provided by healthcare professionals specializing in post-trauma treatment.
