In Gaza, 120 hostages are still held captive by Hamas. In his opening remarks last night, President Biden spoke of his determination to arrive at a ceasefire deal, saying, “There’s still gaps to close. We’re making progress.” Behind at least some of these gaps is believed to be Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who reportedly hardened his demands for a hostage deal once again. Bianna Golodryga spoke with Andrey Kozlov, who was rescued after eight months' captivity. A Russian-Israeli citizen, Andrey had been living in Israel for only 18 months when he was taken from the Nova music festival on October 7th. Along with three others, he was rescued from Gaza’s Nuseirat camp on June 8th. In an exclusive TV interview Andrey shared his experience and his reflections after just one month of freedom.

@hasssartawi9472 hace 12 días

Sounds like the US-made, Israeli-dropped bombs scared him way more than the captors themselves!

“Sound from hell” is how this guy described the bombing of Gaza by Israel. The truth comes out eventually no matter how cautious one might be. Gaza has been described as hell on earth long time ago by humanitarian organizations.

He is an adult. Can you imagine the hell the children of Gaza are going through every day.
@ZumbaZumbamarisa hace 2 días

The hell that the kidnapped have to go through by revisiting their life there is indescribable and very painful. How many interviews, how many times, how many news channels... their PTSD is so fresh..

I love Bianna’s disposition while she’s listening to his story. It’s far more sensitive and attentive than most journalists on mainstream news. She allowed him to take his time and breathe. It makes all the difference in the storytelling.

Despite the conditions, Palestinians are facing in Gaza , they still treat Israeli hostages better than Palestinians hostages in Israeli jails.
@littleflags hace 13 días

Why don’t you interview some of the Palestinian hostages released by Israel?
@JibskySacar hace 13 días

Hostages were more afraid of Israel's airstrikes than being with Hamas.
@MagdiNonDuality hace 12 días

The Israeli IDF killed 274 people during that operation to free 4 Israeli hostages. Among those killed were 63 children. It was a catastrophic massacre of civilians. He tells us he was fed and sheltered properly. He was not beaten or mistreated, which is diametrically opposed to the way Palestinians are treated by Israel when they are abducted by the IDF. He tells us the swings in mood and feelings for himself and his comrades were affected by raised hopes for a ceasefire and hostage exchange, only to be dashed, and gunfire and bombing that was happening around where they were being held. Those bombings were killing, maiming, and disfiguring innocent, trapped, and defenseless people and their children. Overall, his assessment of his captivity and his captors was mild.
