Hamas has released a second video of hostage Maxim Herkin, who was taken from Israel in June 2023. The family of the captive has not granted permission for his video to be made public yet. This latest release comes amid ongoing efforts to secure Herkin’s freedom.
According to reports, Hamas had previously released footage of Herkin in May. The content of both videos is not publicly known at this time. The Israeli government and Herkin’s family have been working together with international authorities to negotiate his release.
