Michael Levy, the brother of Hamas hostage Or Levy, addresses the UN Security Council as it meets for a session on the Middle East.

Levy says in a video message that his family has suffered “439 days of fear, anguish, and an unbearable silence that echoes louder than any words ever could.”

“Hamas’s actions are not just blatant violation of international law. They are an assault on humanity itself. Holding civilians hostage, men, women, children, is a violation of the principles that this very council was created to protect,” Levy states.

“And yet your silence is deafening. Your inaction is suffocating. For every day this council fails to act, the message to the world is clear. That some lives are worth saving and others are not. “
