The recent video of Sasha Troufanov, an Israeli Russian dual citizen held captive, has drawn attention to the situation of hostages in Gaza as he describes hardships faced during captivity.
Lena Troufanov expressed her mixed feelings upon seeing her son in the video, stating, 'I am relieved to see my son alive, but I am very worried to hear what he is saying.'
Rights groups state that hostage videos, such as the one featuring Troufanov, are made under duress, with statements often coerced and potentially constituting war crimes.
Mousa Abu Marzouk of Hamas indicated that Troufanov's release is a priority, citing discussions with Islamic Jihad regarding him, which reflect political and humanitarian concerns.
