"Saraya al-Quds" released a video of the Israeli prisoner in Gaza, Alexander Turbanov, who indicated that "the Israeli government does not want to pay the price for us to return alive, but they want us to return as corpses." In the video, Alexander Turbanov stated, "I am fine, although the army and air force have tried to kill me several times... Thank you to Saraya al-Quds for caring about my life."
The Israeli prisoner mentioned that he would "speak the truth," believing that "the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the security level are lying to you. They told you they are working to retrieve us through military pressure, but in practice, they are looking for us to kill us. They do not want to pay the price for us to return alive; they want us to return as corpses… It’s a cheap price, and it’s preferable for them."
In an urgent tweet, Saraya al-Quds published the message of prisoner "Alexander Turbanov" held by them, addressing the occupation government: "The government and Netanyahu are looking for us to kill us and return us as corpses; it’s a cheap and preferred price for them."
The prisoner made a request to all "protesters to pressure Netanyahu’s government." He added, "A government that does not value the lives of its citizens does not deserve to continue... Do everything possible for a new government to emerge."
It is noteworthy that prisoner Alexander Turbanov, 30 years old, is a Russian-Israeli dual citizen. He was captured in the Gaza Strip along with his mother, grandmother, and girlfriend from the village of Nirim on October 7, but they were released.
