Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says the images of emaciated Israeli hostages being released show that despite accusations of starvation in Gaza, it is the captives who are being deprived of food.

“For over a year, the entire international community has danced to the tune of the false propaganda of so-called ‘starvation’ in Gaza,” Sa’ar says in a post on X.

“But the images don’t lie: Hamas terrorists and other Gaza residents look perfectly fine. The Israeli hostages look like Holocaust survivors and they are the only ones in the pictures who clearly appear to have suffered from starvation,” he says.

“Hamas has committed crimes against humanity against civilian hostages. This Hamas-Nazi evil must be eradicated!”
