The father of Nimrod Cohen says the video of his capture set to be published in about 90 minutes is just part of the footage of his son found by the army in Gaza, demanding that all of it be cleared for publication.
“These videos are just part of what we were shown [by the IDF], there’s a cache of videos of Nimrod in Gaza speaking to the camera, and the army is refusing to give it to us,” Yehuda Cohen says in a brief press conference.
He alleges the footage is being suppressed to serve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s goal of avoiding reaching a deal that frees the hostages and ends the war.
“The army needs to give us everything to fight for Nimrod against the Netanyahu government, which refuses to reach a deal, in order to press Netanyahu and his government to reach an agreement and free all the hostages,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
