Rom Braslavski's family approves release of uncensored PIJ hostage video

The family of Rom Braslavski, one of the 20-25 remaining live hostages held by terrorist groups in Gaza, has approved the release of uncensored parts of the hostage video released by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, where he was forced to describe his poor health and read off terrorist talking points.

The video, which had been released by the terrorist group almost a week ago, was - like all such videos released since October 7 - designed to act as psychological propaganda to pressure parents of hostages to pressure the government to give in to all of Hamas' demands.

One such example was a video which contained messages for parents of hostages, warning that all their children would come home in black coffins like most of the Bibas family, and that the fault would be the Israeli government's.
