- Former Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy claims Hamas is employing “psychological terrorism” by refusing to release hostage names.
The terrorist organisation has cited ‘technical’ reasons for not being able to release the hostage names to Israel.
“I’m sorry, that’s not credible,” Mr Levy said.
“This is a regime that remains very much in control in Gaza.”
Proof of LIFE is needed .
They want bodies back too.
Can't be given
Yes.
@@chatterboxjan8 priority should be for the living. I'm sorry but bodies should not count as a "hostage". you can't be a hostage if you're DEAD
@@Dextronaut1 Hamas will not give all the living hostages back now or their blackmail type leverage would be lost. Israel knows this is a bad deal but you cannot tell your citizens that their families don’t count. It’s not a situation anyone should have to deal with.
The world should unite in condemning the taking of civilians as hostages and impose harsh sanctions on any organisation or country that chooses that method of fighting. If the don’t they will regret it when their turn comes around.
Imagine a baby receiving no love or tenderness from anyone for so long. It must have a serious effect on his/her development. Shameful is not a strong enough word to describe adults who carry out those heartless acts.
Israel forgot the rule that they taught the world. NEVER negotiate with terrorists.
Israel has tried this. After 15 mo ths there is unfortunately no choice.
It is the US and the western world's fault for not showing a no tolerance to Hamas - on October 8th they should have demanded the hostages back and said no more money or aid until the hostages are back. You bet that Hamas woukd have returned the hostahes once they saw they wouldn't get money anymore.
But no, the world demanded that Israel still provide electricity and aid to Gaza, knowing that Hamas was stealing that aid.
You a terrorist
dont worry this is temporary
I guess they are under pressure from America.
Israel is beeing pressed and forced into this ridiculous deal.
The war should not end until Hamas ceases to exist. This is what Netanyahu promised and that is what the civilized world wants.
Exactly... Theres no world where any of these two exist peacefully. One or the other, and at this point, id rather Israel over an Islamic jihad.
@playbench True but many don’t agree because of the hostages and their families trauma.
Some Israeli organisation alredy asking for voluntery solders and "Whay you don't put your name if you are Jewish"? Some Australians alredy is not able to come back to Australia,because they are charged for war crimes circulate true our media.
Yep
Don't speak for civilized people when you two groups have killed each other with no remorse for so long. Civilized Christians don't agree with either of you two Jews or Muslims.
Hamas has always used psychological torture. Nothing new. My heart breaks for the families of the hostages. It would be so hard not to go crazy.
Well Uncle Sam ,I Uncle Trump will release the 1st Marine Division. 😂
@@redburban1394troll trolling on behalf of Hamas. Expected.
@redburban1394 There are 20 US hostages and they murdered Hersh and others. Such cruel, inhumane people.
And Israel hasn’t? Israel holds over 10,000 civilians in prisons without trial.
What does israel use?
Does your heart break for the tens of thousands of innocent children that have been....slawterd.
Trust Hamas at your own risk. They were never for any ceasefire
That is not true, the deal today is 100% the same as Israel has rejected for the last 13 months, as for the hostages it was reported in Israeli media in October 2023 that they could have had them within 2 days apart from the soldiers. Bibi didn't want them so the IDF killed them.
SO VERY TRUE
People have very short term memories. It's been known they don't want peace since years ago. They won't change their minds.
They had a ceasefire on Oct 7. How did that work out. You only need read the Hamas Charter.
They are always for a cease fire when they are loosing.
Peace however there is never any talk about.
This strategy is how Muslims have always conducted themselves.
No terrorist release until all hostages are accounted for
Prisoners. Not all prisoners are terrorist but just criminals.
Many are terrorists @@archiebunker5256
Hamas don't want peace.
They never did, and never will. Palestine is hopeless.
@@wl2977 Sadly I believe you are 💯correct.
Islam doesn't want peace.
It is literally in their chapter and why they exist.
@@andrewheron2399 to me this has everything to do with islam which is unable to think out of the Box.for Non.Muslims.etc.etc.without Islam this Conflict wouldnt exist.
Certainly Hamas is still in power, but we are hoping that Trump will get rid off those evils.
Not really. They're very weakened at this point. This is why this deal shouldn't have been made. Most hostages if not all are no longer alive
@@mdelcb9915 No, you're not seeing clearly. Look closer -- ALL Gaza is Hamas. Relative dormancy does not mean "weakened." It only means significant numbers are still in the larval stage.
@@Michael-k8r2g true. reports are coming in that hamas is having their ranks replaced by teenagers.
Who are you to decide who is evil....only God decides...
I am South African, but I am for Israel and pray for them daily. I hate our government!!!!
You aren't alone. South Africa's government needs to clean and sort its own front door.
Israel didn't start this evil.
Fuck the ANC
I'm Irish and hate that our Government supported the South African government against Israel. I too stand with Israel. My heart breaks for what they are going through.
Everyone hates your government.!!
I'm South African too and are 💯 percent pro Israel. Our government are clueless. 7 Farm murders since Des'24. They hate white people.
I feel sorry for the families of the hostages families.
The fact Hamas is already parading around in uniform intimidating the local population is a reason not to have had this ceasefire. They haven't changed in their ambitions to destroy Israel and they don't care about the cost of lives, Palestinians or Jews.
No such thing as "Palestinians." They are simply Arabs, living in Judea - Samaria!
If Israel promised a ceasefire, it was announced the world over but overnight killed another 70 people what else can you expect? The same story over and over again, Israel feeling entitled others pay in multiplied numbers for some of those they claim to be their dead when the truth is they don’t care about them or else all those hostages would have already been released by now without waiting for Trump to pressure for a ceasefire on the day before his inauguration. Israel have for thousands of years not looked to open up and leave harmful fundamentalism behind but now look to strengthen even more fundamentalist dogmas & genocidal public discourse. So horrible coming out like this to the world, like a sick death cult ‘worried’ about making a deal with the devil 👿
Levy is quite correct.
Time for All Hell to be paid.
The UN to be blamed for not saving the babies, the women and the elderly from those evils. Also should be a law to prevent the terrorists organisations from kidnapping the innocent babies and women. I am sure those terrorists will keep taking hostage to get what they want, because they know that they can make a bargain with them.
@@sallycent6598yes we’re is the UN and ms WONG at present can’t hear them.
@sallycent6598 They do know this which why we have had fifteen month of global manipulation and psychological warfare.
@@sallycent6598 The UN have been complicit in all of it they support Hamas
& it's proxies, it's disgusting, & they all need to be held accountable. They are
continuing to spew their lies, by saying that the Gazans are starving, and that
aid has not be reaching them, yet on sky news England, it shows that all well
and extremely feed, the Gazans are not STARVING, plus the all have phones
power water etc and all wear new clothes.
President Trump said this is what they'll get if the hostages aren't released by Jan 20th, Just one more day.
I'm afraid that most are dead already.
If not all
Or worse I wouldn’t be shocked if some of these women had a kid already or are currently pregnant. Islam is one sick religion and it needs to be wiped off the map.
Unfortunately that is almost guaranteed
He is giving excuses because he has no hostages to release
I don't think there's a country that hasn't stated they refuse to deal with terrorists , yet every country insists Israel must . Hypocrisy on an international scale
Technical. My ass. I stand by Israel.
Stand with Palestine
@EncikWafiybut against hamas
@EncikWafiywhat's a palestine?
@EncikWafiy doesn't exist
Who holds a 2yo hostage for 18 months? 🤮
Islam
Satan /izlm
Islamists
@isagive They kidnapped dead bodies too. They do this because they know they can blackmail and manipulate Israelis as the recovery of their people dead and alive will be used as human collateral.
WHO SAVED THE MOST JEWS IN WW2 FROM GERMAN SOLDIERS LIKE MY FAMILY BOSNIAK MUSLIMS AND ALBANIAN MUSLIMS
LIKE THE FAMILY HARDAGA FROM SARAJEWO THAT SAVED 40 FAMILYS YEAH ( ISLAM) IM VERY ASHAMED OF MY FAMILY ☪️🐺⚜️🇨🇽🇧🇦🇽🇰🇦🇱🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is a terrible day for Jews and Israel.
Blame the zionists
It is a day to fully see how evil humus is
It’s a terrible day for humanity.
Dear Heavenly Father, Please send a Legion of Angels to rescue your babies, young and old, and keep them safe from further harm. Thy will be done. In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen!
The babies in Gaza that are slawterd everyday, innocent children by the thousands and you care not.? And You call to God for this..
Then why don't they release them and stop the war. You can easily see this through.
@@pop-4567 Sop moralising for Hamas .
Israel did NOT start this .
Trust you are praying for the slaughtered babies of Gaza too. An Anglican priest.
What a pack of liars
Like Trump! 😡
And the negotiators and mediators are just sitting and watching
@loretoanthony The Qatari government are puppets.
@loretoanthony Complicit aiding and abetting Hamas
Well said Eylon.
Sad when someones mind is so twisted by lies..
People should be able to stand up to terrorists and not be forced to bow down to them.
If a government does not allow you to fight, it only means you have more battles.
@danielcooke9974 zionists are real terrorists..they killed civilians babies and children that terrorism
Lol. What a clown 😂😂😂😂
@danielcooke9974 zionists is real terrorist...zionists creates terrorist
@RalfPinkaire-f7w are you a bot or do you find things difficult to understand
@@danielcooke9974 The image the name the text. It's screaming bot.
Bots have gotten really effective these days.
Shame on you South Africa. What if this were your children????
South Africa is still in the dark ages, I'd ignore them.
@yolandavanderwesthuizen3006 Not just South Africa, shame on all those governments and people supporting this inhumanity. Condemning and denigrating Israel for doing what is right and condoning those who commit atrocities.
I'm South African, but I stand with Israel, all the way. So does many of us here. We don't agree with what our government has done, but can't do anything about it.
South Africa has been over run by socialists.
It's certain politicians in South Africa. The vast majority of South Africans are to busy trying to survive themselves to worry about this conflict.
Are any of the hostages alive?
around 60-ish.
Yep that's the problem they don't want anyone to know
probably some... but all? nahhhh.
@BooglestationTermoil Why defend the terrorists if you're not one with them???
They’re not all Hanniballed yet but the IGF is still trying. 2 trgtd since the announcement.
Can't release because of "technical difficulties", DEAD you mean?
Ether that or that the hostages are the ‘ property’ of highly places Hamas members who don’t want to give them up.
The world will see soon that they made a terrible mistake taking side of terror.
The world leaders, universities, and many more groups eg Red Cross have supported the terrorists. Israel has been a lone state placed under constant pressure from the rest of the world. You will realise the error of not supporting Israel when the Radical Islamists take to the people in your country. Australia's prime minister and foreign minister have done nothing to protect the Jewish people here. Islam starts with getting rid of the Jewish people, and then moves on to Christians until they achieve world dominance. This is a repeat of what happened when nobody acted as Hitler was killing not just Jews but many other groups. You obviously have not learnt anything from this tragedy to mankind.
Unfortunately no. Not the first time. Deeply rooted antisemitic bias prevails every time. 💔
They found their old uniforms they weren't wearing for the past 9 month
WEARING UNIFORMS AND MASKS FOR PROPAGANDA ON WORLD PUBLIC TV HAS ITS PSY -OP IMPACT...WHEN THEY DIE. THEY ARE DECLARED AS INNOCENT CIVILIAN VICTIMS
Stop Jew hating worldwide.
It’s possible to love the Jewish people but deplore the decades of oppression of the Palestinians. Read your history. Read, ‘Blood Brothers’ by Elias Chacour, Palestinian Christian and former Archbishop of Galilee. He and his family, along with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians suffered, and continue to suffer, since the 1940s, but he spent his adult life working to bring reconciliation. An Anglican priest.
@catherinellewelyn-evans3693that's all lies, 2 million Palestinians live in Israel without any problems, in the west bank life is good as well, it's just gaza are suffering because of Hamas
You cant make a deal with the devil and expect fair play or truthful answers..
Just the South African government supports Hamas. Ordinary people do not! Long live 🇮🇱
They were never going release the hostages.
Israel never wanted the hostages
The key word is "TAQIYA"
"ZIONIST"
I unfortunately think that most of the hostages have passed away and Hamas don’t want to admit it, this is the bargaining chip and Hamas don’t want to tall the truth.😢😢
After 16 months of hostage captivity by a terrorist group, their typewriter is broken. This is another reason why a deal is never a deal with terrorists.
Over 100 were released before due to negotiations, you are simply ignoring facts
@jagoz7465 well that was a long time ago now. Cold comfort for the ones left behind, don't you think?
@ it still happened yet nobody wants to acknowledge that
They have no right to kidnap inocent civilian People!
Where is that written in the Human Charta ,
What would happen if I took a Child of the street into my House and demanded to give me samething in return.
Would People go and demonstrate for me?
OR the kidnaped Child.
Stop feeling sorry for kidnappers.
Time stamp 2:39 I'm a South African, and like millions other South Africans, I do not support Hamas! It was our gvmnt that took Israel to court, not the people of SA. Please get this right once and for all.
When Elon Levy says S Africa, he means the government. We are aware that many, if not most S Africans, support us. Unfortunately, the government has the ability to do much harm to Israel, whereas the people are unable to do much for us besides expressing their support. These messages of support are very much appreciated, as you can imagine. Elon failed to mention some European countries, including the UK, whose government has been against Israel though we believe many of its citizens are not.
Its the same for us Australians, we support Israel, but it's our government who are supporting hamas 🤨👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@KayEl58you are right. Our government has done a lot of harm during this war. All we can do is support Israel. Wish we had a say in all this.
We serve a God who is above all governments. Even though we can't do anything we pray, and in GOD we trust.
Who voted the government
U voted them in
This all just proves that kidnapping works. The world needs to stop kidding itself.
If they are that secretive about the Hostages I doubt any of them are still alive and just using their presence as a bargaining chip
Some of them are alive, Hamas are just monsters and want to terrorize the families, Israel and Jewish people around the world.
This whole deal is absolutely ridiculous and absurd 🤦♂️
I’m from South Africa and I can say that the Christian people here do not support the South African government. I stand with Israel!!!
Excellent interview Sky news!
This is the truth of the matter.
Down with Hamas, end the terror!
We stand with you Israel 🇮🇱
Sorry to say, but I think the hostages are deceased,just a suspicion for a few months,why would they procrastinate.
Still many obstacles still to cross
Kinda weird that they have military uniforms now, but for over a year you couldn't see a single uniformed Palestinian in Gaza...
And everything looks so sparkling new. They must have had the kit in ziplock bags in the tunnels.
Wouldn't it be useful if somehow tracking devices were implanted in the prisoners before they released them back to hammas
They will be going to their families, if they are still alive.
Islam is darkness
there are muslim arab-israelis in the israeli millitary who were fighting on israel's side against hamas. You hate them too?
@@Lol-ql3gdDid I say I hated anybody? Nevertheless, islam is an ideology that worships war, marterdom, the subjection of non-believers, child marriage and calls for the death of apostates. Just to name a few.
@Lol-ql3gd You would do well to differentiate between 'hating' people and critizing a set of ideas.
I hate Islam, Evil religion from hell 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
@@Lol-ql3gdlie
So ashamed of the ANC government here in South Africa.
The guest is right. Psychological terror
They are all well dressed, looking all well looked after and clean. Funny really I thought they were all without water, food, clean clothes, all looking well fed must have had a good breakfast or food and all singing happy songs. Goes to show how they have lied about everything. Don't forget they said first the Jews then the Christians so they are coming for the West as well.
Pallywood😇
@richardjoangreen6918 They already have there’s been many attacks I. Europe and all western countries
What you are saying is frighteningly true.
Matthew 24 1 the.5:3
I’m sure they had technical difficulties… TECHNICALLY they couldn’t find the hostages… 💔 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🎗️🇮🇱💙🙏🏻
Henceforth, take no Hamas prisoners.
And, some protesting in Israel, do you now realize how you have benefited Hamas against your own interests as Israelis?
Not all South Africans,are against Isreal. The government is not speaking for all.
Hamas will never keep its word.
The devil is an expert in psychology at the highest level.
Coming back to proportionality was such a good point
There are no hostages alive!
The technical issue was that the donkey had a flat.
Don’t negotiate with terrorists. How much history does it take to be convinced of this clear fact. The goal of all human history is peace. Peace must be lasting. It won’t be lasting until terrorism is not a legitimate way to win wars and all countries unite in agreement on this.
There are no hostages alive.
IDF should have 'helped' them on their parade route . Saw pics n it didnt look like any one starving. All haircuts, clean clothes and well fed. They didnt feel the effects of war so no hostages turned up
There will be hell to pay!!!
What a huge surprise....
You are 100% correct.
zombies are real.
We should cite technical reasons at the UN for bulldozing Gaza in to the sea.
Ashamed of both the Australian government and all our useful idiots.
Albo, Wong & Labor are abhorrent. 😡🇦🇺
Sky News Australia, the Best True American News Reporting Agency, with actually Real Journalism, armed with facts....
Facts or just opinoins. It seems the reporters are one sided and only take the views of one side.
This story has 2 sides and is did not start on Oct 7th.
@ZS-ow7fp Correct it commenced with Islam
@@ZS-ow7fpThe only ones defending the right side. Have you heard the British Sky News or CNN trying to equalise innocent civilians of all ages with criminals attacking another country.
@@ZS-ow7fpno it started 70 years ago but there was never hope of peace when the devil spreads hate as he has with the people living in Gaza
What did anyone expect, peace with Hamas??
😢 תן להם ללכת!!!!
I hope and pray that those monsters haven't killed all the hostages.
Everything changes tomorrow...EVERYTHING.
NO DEAL
such a difficult situation as usual theres no solution..hamas is an ideology that wont ever go away and israel has nowhere to go.
Don’t blame other people for your weakness.
Quoting from Quran :
In Sura Al-Mai'dah (5:21) "Allah" addresses the children of Israel as "O my people," urging them to enter the Holy Land. The verse states "O my people enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back !
Hey, it’s all Israel land, the Holy Land of Israel. You should and have to learn that this land belongs to Israel and no other.🇮🇱
Am Israel Chai
@@nadiadianacokyavuz9596he just quoted a verse from the quran that says the land belongs to the Jews.
Their own book states that the land belongs to the Jews.
Time to release The Trump!
"All hell will break loose"
Don't trust - verify...
This will NEVER happen AGAIN. NO MORE HOSTAGES !
They were all waiting for the final approval from Muhammad Sinwar. That was the technical problem 🎉
If this is a deal brokered by trump, it's weak
Why are the press so stupid 😂
Hamas is only looking for an opportunity to regroup
Does anyone really think these hostages are still alive?Dont negotiate with terrorist period.
Israel should have technically issues with aircraft that can't keep hold of it's weapons.
God save Israel 🕊️
Please don't think all South Africans Support Governments stance on Israel. Many South Africans Support Israel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless you 🙏🏻♥️
I'm afraid that none of the hostages are with us anymore. Thats why they cannot stop the fighting.
They know what awaits them when the truth comes out.
This makes me sick
❤️🇮🇱❤️
Technical difficulties? Like they are technically too dead to release.
How quick they have gone from crying genocide to victory??
very true sir. I am ashamed that this is happening. no deal should be negotiated. no money sent to rebuild. they brought it for themselves
The deal has to be 1 hostage for one prisoner.
And even that is not fair because you are exchanging innocent civilians for terrorists willing to harm and kill.
Can't understand the world! Mrs. Rosa Larsen
Israel call on Yahweh because the world will not listen to you
❤❤❤
Are they ever going to release any hostages in the first place.
where is proof of life?
I was hoping that Trump would support Israel, but he didn't.
This should be a ceasefire agreement. Why didn’t Hamas returned the hostages as requested in wishlist?! This is not fair.
