Get me out of here’: Palestinian Islamic Jihad airs video of hostage Rom Braslavski
2025-04-17
[IsraelTimes] Mother says ‘he’s aged 10 years’; says they heard about video from media: PM’s son ‘is drinking margarita on Miami beach while my son is underground, and he doesn’t have time to update me?’
Whining about Bibi’s government not catering to their egos snipped.
The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group released a video on Wednesday showing hostage Rom Braslavski, 21, whom they are holding captive in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip.

The video was the first recorded sign of life for Braslavski, 558 days since the off-duty soldier, a resident of Jerusalem, was kidnapped from the Nova music festival, where he was working as a security guard. His family has shared testimonies from partygoers that Braslavski rescued them amid the onslaught.

The family approved publication of a short clip from the video, with the hostage’s face blurred. Based on the content, the footage was filmed in recent weeks.

In the clip — whose contents were likely dictated by his captors — Braslasvski is heard complaining of an unspecified illness that makes his whole body itch, and appealing to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump

to secure his release, asking: "Where are you?"

In the video, Braslavski also describes his general physical and mental condition as difficult, and speaks about the ongoing bombings in Gaza. Addressing Netanyahu, he demands: "Can you get me out of here?"

Last month, Sasha Troufanov — released in the January hostage-ceasefire deal that has since collapsed — said he was briefly held alongside Braslavski in Gaza, providing the first evidence of any sort that the latter was alive after his abduction.

Tami Braslavski, Rom’s mother, learned of the video from news reports and said no representative from the government had reached out to inform her of the clip before it was made public.

"I don’t even recognize my son. He has aged 10 years. This isn’t my Rom. He’s tough, and he looks terrible. If they broke Rom, they’ll break anyone," she charged.

In an interview with Ynet last month, Tami Braslavski recounted the stories she’s heard of her son taking care of people amid the onslaught, when more than 5,000 Hamas

-led forces of Evil invaded southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.

Rom "had a number of opportunities to get out of there that day," his mother said, but "from 6:30 in the morning, until the moment he was kidnapped [between 2-4 p.m.], he was moving from place to place [helping people]."

"Some of them he rescued, some of them he encouraged, giving them the strength, the hope, the faith that they’d get out of there," she said, adding that "dozens" of people had reached out to her with their own personal stories from that day.

Terror groups in the Gaza Strip are holding 59 hostages, including 58 of the 251 kidnapped by Hamas-led forces of Evil on October 7, 2023. They include the bodies of at least 35 confirmed dead by the IDF.
