Foreign secretary confirms viewing video LONDON: The UK’s Foreign Office said on Sunday it was investigating a claim by Hamas that a British-Israeli hostage in Gaza had died from injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike over a month ago. Nadav Popplewell, 51, was captured along with his mother Channah Peri on Oct. 7 during a border incursion when the Palestinian group launched a surprise attack on Israel. The Foreign Office said it was actively seeking more information on the matter. Popplewell’s family has requested media outlets refrain from airing footage released by Hamas, showing him in captivity with visible injuries, the BBC reported. The UK’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron, speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, confirmed viewing the video but provided no further updates on the investigation. Cameron said: “We don’t want to say anything until we have better information.” He described Hamas as “callous” for releasing the video and playing “with the family’s emotions in that way.” The Foreign Office added that the department’s thoughts “are with his family at this extremely distressing time.” The Israeli military has not issued a statement on the matter. Israel’s military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas has killed over 34,900 people, the majority of whom are women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel has reported that 128 hostages are unaccounted for.
