Hamas on Sunday aired a video of three Israeli hostages the Palestinian group is holding captive in the Gaza Strip, in which they urged their government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the offensive in the enclave and bring about their release as the war completed 100 days.

The undated 37-second video ended with the caption, “Tomorrow we will inform you of their fate”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue with the Gaza offensive until his side triumphs in their mission to uproot the Hamas forces from the Palestinian enclave. He reiterated Israel’s stand in not pausing their military offensive in the Gaza Strip with a defiant speech on Saturday (January 13) wherein he said their fight is one of “sons of light against sons of darkness”.

Netanyahu’s statement came despite mounting global pressure on Israel to end the Gaza war. More than 20,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip so far due to the ongoing war. Earlier this month, the United Nations humanitarian chief called the besieged Palestinian enclave “uninhabitable”, warning that famine was looming and a public health disaster was unfolding.
