But a moment captured in a new video released Saturday undercuts that claim: a captor hands David a can of food overflowing with nourishment, contrasting sharply with his visibly malnourished frame. “This can is for two days,” David says in the footage, reviewing his journal of meals—lentils, beans—or days when he received no food at all.
“These are sadistic, intentional scenes of hunger used purely for propaganda,” Shoham added. “Evyatar has lost more than 40, perhaps even 50 kg, and is in life‑threatening condition. I don’t think he has many days left if no food is delivered immediately.”
