Israeli President Isaac Herzog (pictured) called on the international community on Sunday, in his New Year's message, to exert pressure on Hamas in order to secure the freedom of the 133 hostages still held captive in Gaza.
"As we enter 2024, I call on the entire family of nations, on all world leaders, to demand and work for the immediate, unconditional release of our 133 hostages. Babies, the elderly, women, men, are being held in brutal captivity by Hamas, without vital medication or visitation from the Red Cross. Their immediate release is at the core of our battle with Hamas terrorists in Gaza," Herzog wrote on X in ten different languages.
The message is posted in Hebrew, English, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French, Italian, Hindi, German and Portuguese.
