Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed "profound shock" over videos released by Hamas showing two emaciated hostages in Gaza. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has responded to the videos as well. He spoke at the flashpoint Temple Mount in Jerusalem, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, and reiterated his call for Israel to occupy the entire Gaza Strip. DW speaks to Israeli analyst Mairav Zonszein as to whether Israeli media – in addition to showing footage of Israeli hostages – adequately shows images of starving Palestinians.
