Alon Ohel: Geisel appeals desperately to Netanyahu in the new video

On September 22, 2025, Hamas published another video of the kidnapped German-Israelis Alon Ohel. This video material shows ohel alive and is already the second this month. Ohel appeals to Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to work for the release of all hostages in Gaza. In his emotional call, he calls on his family to continue their protest against Netanyahu and his government in order to generate pressure for the liberation. In the video, which was published by the Al-Kassam brigades on Monday, ohel can be seen in a black T-shirt, while a fighter dressed in black, who holds a weapon, taps him on his shoulder.

The record of the video shows Ohel, who was just 22 years old when he was kidnapped on October 7, 2023. He was kidnapped to Israel during an attack by Hamas and other armed groups, in which more than 1,400 people were killed, most of them were kidnapped. Ohel, which is currently in the Gaza Strip, is described by his family as emaciated and desperate, whereby his parents report that her son is apparently blind in one eye. They ask the media not to use pictures or excerpts from the new video, as this would mean additional pain for the family.

Family appeal and humanitarian situation

Idit Ohel, the mother of Alon, said in February that her son had been kept in chains since his kidnapping. The family is shaken by the situation and describes the constant fear of its well -being. In the background of the video there is talk of Netanyahu, which increases the desperate location.

Against the background of an intensive and increasingly violent escalation in the Middle East, the reactions to Ohel's appeal. The Israeli armed forces reacted to the attack of Hamas with massive air and soil attacks on the Gaza Strip, which led to considerable damage to the civilian population and injuries. In an investigation, Amnesty International has found that Israel commits acts under the Convention on the Boy Murder, and serious allegations have been made with the intent to destroy Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group.

The humanitarian emergency in the Gaza Strip has increased considerably, and reports on attacks on health facilities and medical transport increase the precarious situation of the civilian population. This complex situation around Alon Ohel's life as well as the contexts of violence and conflict in the region illustrate the urgency of a political and humanitarian solution process. The Ohel family, who has both German and Israeli roots, meanwhile awaits the news of reunification with anxious heart.

A first video was released on September 5, in which ohel was also alive, which reinforced the emotional pressure on the family and the call to the public to act. Now it remains to be seen which measures the Israeli government will take to free the hostages like ohel.
