Dozens of demonstrators rallied late on Wednesday outside Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's official residence in occupied al-Quds, after Hamas' military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, released a video of an Israeli settler it is holding captive in the Gaza Strip, in which he addressed Israeli settlers and authorities.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli settler taken captive on October 7, 2023, sent a critical message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, as he remains held in captivity for more than 200 days in the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrators demanded that the Israeli government ensure a deal to release captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza and raised signs that read "Bring them home now", as well as pictures of Goldberg-Polin and other captives.

Israeli media reported that the protesters blocked Azza Street where Netanyahu's residence is located and clashed with the police officers who arrested two and brought a water cannon to the area.

Meanwhile in Tel Aviv, protesters and the families of the captives staged a vigil outside the Israeli Security Ministry on Begin Street to demand a captive deal.

The media also mentioned that Israeli protesters surrounded a government building in al-Quds with Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir inside.

"Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, you should be ashamed of yourselves because you neglected us along with thousands of other citizens," Golberg-Polin said angrily in the video.

200 days and the Israeli military fails to retrieve its captives

He went on to lambast the Israeli government and the military for failing to retrieve the captives after 200 days of the war on Gaza.

"You should be ashamed of yourselves for leaving us for 200 days," the captive said, adding that all of the Israeli military's efforts in the Gaza Strip "have failed".

He also blasted Israeli occupation forces for killing over 70 Israeli captives in the Israeli Air Force's raids on the Gaza Strip. 

Goldbeg-Polin said that Netnanyahu's government should be ashamed for rejecting all the deals offered to them by the Palestinian Resistance in mediated negotiations, which would have set him and others free. 

"Don't you want this nightmare to end?"

Living a life of leisure while captives suffer the genocidal war

"At a time when you are holding feasts with your families, think of us captives in underground hell, without water, food, or sun. Without the treatment that I have needed for so long," the captive asserted. 

"Every day that we are here you ignore us more and more," he said, addressing Netanyahu's government. 

"Do what is expected of you and bring us home immediately!" 

The captive questioned whether Israeli officials are capable of completing such a task, saying that government members should resign and "sit in your homes."
