Since Hamas released a video on Saturday which showed Evyatar David looking skeletal and hollow-eyed in a dimly lit Gaza tunnel, Keir Starmer has stressed the hostages must be released

In the video, David can be seen crossing off days on a makeshift calendar hung up on the side of an underground Gaza tunnel. Hamas published a video of hostage Evyatar David on Friday evening, which was later cleared for publication by the David Family.

Evyatar David, a 24-year-old Israeli hostage, appears emaciated in a video released by Hamas, sparking protests in Tel Aviv. The footage shows him and fellow captive Rom Braslavsky confined in a narrow tunnel.
