Since Hamas released a video on Saturday which showed Evyatar David looking skeletal and hollow-eyed in a dimly lit Gaza tunnel, Keir Starmer has stressed the hostages must be released

In the video, David can be seen crossing off days on a makeshift calendar hung up on the side of an underground Gaza tunnel. Hamas published a video of hostage Evyatar David on Friday evening, which was later cleared for publication by the David Family.

Evyatar David, 24, was kidnapped at the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7, 2023, during the terrorist attack by Hamas in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.
