Israeli hostage in Hamas video is a broken man, cousin says

Season 2025 Episode 217 | 7m 05s

This weekend, Hamas released a haunting video of 24-year-old Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage abducted from the Nova Music Festival during the Oct. 7 attacks. In the video, David appears so emaciated and pale that his father said he didn’t recognize him. David's family is pleading for urgent international intervention. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Matan Eshet, a cousin of Evyatar David.
