Freed Israeli Hostage Omer Shem Tov Describes 505 Days of Captivity in Gaza | Amanpour and Company

Protestors are blocking highways and raising their voices in Israel today, calling for the release of hostages as they mark 600 days since the horrors of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 that caused more than 1,200 deaths and the taking of 251 hostages. For Gazans, it has meant 600 days of Israel’s devastating war. More than 54,000 people are dead, entire families wiped out, and Gaza is increasingly a scene of hunger and desperation. Some 58 hostages remain in Gaza, fewer than half believed to be alive. Despite international pressure piling on the Israeli government to end its renewed offensive, the nominee to be the new head of Israel’s security agency has reportedly said that he opposes hostage deals. Omer Shem Tov was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023 and taken to Gaza, where he was held for more than 500 days. In February, he was released during the temporary ceasefire. Bianna Golodryga spoke to Shem Tov in New York about what he went through, and what he is focused on now.
