United Nations – Former Hamas hostage Eli Sharabi went for the Safety Council of the United Nations (UNC) With his heartbreaking story and a simple plea: “Bring them all at home now.”
Sharabi is less than six weeks off, but at that time he has already argued for the hostages and talked to world leaders about the plight of those who are still getting away in Hamas’ hands.
“On October 7, my heaven turned to hell,” Sharabi recalled, who was taken from Kibbutz Be’eri. “Sirens started, Hamas terrorists invaded and I was torn from my family, to never see them again.”
Kibbutz Be’eri saw part of the worst massacre of October 7. More than 100 of the residents were killed and 30 were held hostage during the attacks, according to The Israel defense forces. Among the dead were Sharabi’s wife and two daughters. He only heard of their murders when he returned from Gaza.

“Then I came home. They told me that my mother and sister were waiting for me. I said: ‘Get me my wife and daughters. “And that was when I knew. They were gone. Sharabi’s brother, Yossi, was also held hostage, but was killed in captivity. His body is still in Gaza.

When Sharabi was released on 8 February alongside whether Levy and Ohad Ben Ami, the world noted that all three men looked lean. At the time, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog said it was “what a crime against humanity looks like.” President Donald Trump said the men ‘saw as survivors of Holocaust’ and seemed to be ‘in terrible condition’.
Sharabi said the council that when he got Back to Israel After having spent 491 days in Hamas’s imprisonment, he only weighed 44 kilograms (97 pounds). He spoke about the pain of hunger and how, by the strokes – including such a serious his ribs were broken – he was consumed by hunger.
Sharabi testified that he only got a pita a day and would be forced to beg for extra food. That was when he told the council where the UN humanitarian help went.

“I know that you discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza very often. But let me tell you, as an eyewitness, I saw what happened to that help. Hamas stole it,” Sharabi said. “I saw Hamas terrorists wearing boxes with the UN and UNRWA emblems on them in the tunnel. Dozens and dozens of boxes, paid for by your governments, fed terrorists who tortured me and killed my family.”
Many hostages who have returned say that Hamas would eat for them as torture and never give food to the prisoners.
“If you talk about Humanitarian helpRemember this: Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve. Hamas steals from burgers. Hamas stupid help to reach those who really need it, “Sharabi told the council.

Sharabi also hit the UN, the Red Cross and the world because of their silence and inactivity.
“Where were the United Nations? Where was the Red Cross? Where was the world? ” he asked.

“Bring them all at home. No more apologies. No more delays. If you stand for humanity – proves it. Bring them home,” he said.
