In the video, Siegel and Miran spoke of not being able to celebrate Passover with their loved ones. It comes days after Hamas released a video of Israeli American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

A video of Israeli hostages Keith Siegel and Omri Miran was released by Hamas’ military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, on Saturday.

In the video, Siegel, 64, and Miran, 47, spoke about not being able to celebrate Passover with their loved ones because they are in Hamas captivity.

This is the second video of Israeli hostages Hamas has shared this week, having released a video of Israeli American Hersh Goldberg-Polin on Wednesday. NBC News has not been able to independently verify when or where the video was filmed, and it’s not clear if Siegal or Miran are still alive.

Oh no, anything but not being able to worship a holiday where your god murders thousands of innocent children while your country is murdering thousands of innocent children!

(Before you get upset, just know you're getting upset at a Jew who is saying so.)

That's like the last thing the story should have mentioned rather than the first unless it was to point out the irony.

I'm sorry these people are hostages. I'm sorry that there are any hostages. But reporting that they can't celebrate Passover as if that were horrible treatment is ridiculous.

They do this to give a date to the statement. To say it wasn't recorded several months ago.

Maybe so, but that's not the way the article was selling it.
