Israel puts image of starving hostage on Times Square billboard
By Luke Tress and Stav Levaton
In a high-profile move aimed at raising international awareness, the Israeli Foreign Ministry — together with the Consulate General of Israel in New York — is broadcasting footage from a recently released video of emaciated hostage Evyatar David on a large screen in New York’s Times Square.

The footage is accompanied by captions reading “Hamas is starving the Israeli hostages,” and “Ignored by the media too busy echoing Hamas propaganda.”

David was abducted by Hamas from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, and is being held in Gaza under dire conditions.
