He looks ‘drained and desperate’: Hostage soldier’s family says new Hamas video proves ‘time has run out’

The family of Matan Angrest permits the publication of a Hamas propaganda video showing the abducted soldier.

“We are shaken by the video we just saw, in which we see our Matan looking drained and desperate after 518 days in Hamas’ tunnels,” the Angrests say in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

“Beyond the severe psychological state evident in the footage, his right hand is non-functional, his eyes and mouth are asymmetrical, and his nose is broken — according to testimonies from those who have returned, all due to interrogations and torture in captivity. What more proof is needed to understand that time has run out?”

The family appeals to US President Donald Trump “to continue fighting for our Matan and all 58 other hostages with the same unwavering commitment and relentless determination. We must not stop until the deal is completed — only when the last hostage comes home.”

Hostage Matan Angrest is seen in a propaganda video published by Hamas on March 7, 2025.
