Overview
- Rom Braslavski, 21, told Channel 13’s Hazinor he was stripped naked, tied up and starved while held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
- He described the abuse as deliberate humiliation and said speaking about it remains difficult.
- Braslavski was among the final 20 living hostages freed last month under the ceasefire and prisoner exchange.
- Hamas and allied militants have denied sexual-abuse allegations, though a UN envoy earlier reported “clear and convincing” information of such crimes against hostages.
- Footage released earlier this year showed an emaciated Braslavski in captivity, and CNN said the interview was filmed last week.
