Israel Demands Release of Hostage Arbel Yehud Amid Negotiations with Hamas

Israel is intensifying its calls for the release of 29-year-old Arbel Yehud, who was abducted by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attacks. The Israeli government has urged Hamas to include Yehud on the list of hostages expected to be released this Saturday, amid ongoing negotiations.

Yehud was kidnapped from Nir Oz, a village in southern Israel, along with her partner, Ariel Cunio. While Cunio was confirmed to be in captivity, Arbel’s whereabouts and condition remain uncertain. Israeli authorities have expressed growing concern over Hamas’s refusal to commit to her release or provide clarity on her situation, citing reports that she is being held by members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), an allied militant group.

Concerns Over Compliance

Earlier this week, Mossad Director David Barnea and Shin Bet (ISA) Director Ronen Bar returned from high-level talks in Egypt, where they raised concerns about Hamas’s failure to deliver a comprehensive list of living hostages. Israeli officials remain wary that Hamas may not fully honor the terms of the deal brokered for hostage releases.

A Family’s Plea

Arbel’s father, Yehiel Yehud, released a poignant recording a month ago, in which his daughter sent a message to her mother, saying, “My dear mother, I love you and miss you.” This message has galvanized public and governmental calls for her immediate release.

Adding to the family’s tragedy, Arbel’s brother, Dolev Yehud, was killed in the October 7 attacks. His remains were discovered in Nir Oz months later. The ordeal has cast a shadow over the Yehud family, especially as Arbel marked her 29th birthday in captivity this past June.

Mounting Pressure on Hamas

Arbel Yehud is one of 12 women believed to still be alive in Hamas captivity. As the second stage of hostage releases approaches, Israel has underscored the critical importance of her inclusion in the process. The case of Arbel Yehud has become emblematic of the broader urgency to secure the freedom of all hostages, as Israel continues to press Hamas to fulfill its obligations.

The situation remains tense, with Israel reiterating its demands for accountability and transparency regarding the fate of those held in captivity.
