WATCH: Gideon Sa'ar: Who's suffering from hunger? Gazans or our hostages?

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar released a video statement today (Saturday) following the footage of the release of the three hostages, which showed them to be emaciated and in poor health, to the extent that some compared them to Holocaust survivors.

In his statement, Sa'ar said that "in the wake of the harsh images of our hostages, who returned today from Hamas captivity, I sent a clear message to our counterparts, foreign ministers around the world: look at these images! How often did you speak of famine in the Gaza Strip!

"Who appears famished in the photos? Who looks malnourished? The terrorists? Gazan residents? Or our hostages? Only them. They look like Holocaust survivors.

"This Nazi evil of Hamas must be eradicated."

Meanwhile Defense Minister Israel Katz said that "all of Israel is moved to see Or, Eli and Ohad return home to their families today, while at the same time being filled with rage over the severe abuse they suffered at the hands of Hamas monsters and the difficult scenes."

Resisting calls to immediately have all the hostages freed "at any price," he said that "we must remain united and strong in the face of this evil. We will do everything to bring everyone home quickly, and at the same time, we will never allow Hamas murderers to continue ruling Gaza and threatening Israel's existence. We will make them all pay - down to the last one of them."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on X that "Have a good week. Ohad, Eli and Or - how wonderful that you are home. All of Israel waited for your return. We love you and salute you. The pure evil that the Nazis in Gaza are perpetrating - we will never forget. Such evil must be eliminated from the face of the earth."
