Rescued hostage sues US nonprofit with ties to Gaza journalist who held him captive [View all]
Rescued hostage Almog Meir Jan is suing the People Media Project, a United States-based nonprofit that has ties to the journalist who held him captive, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
Meir Jan, 22, was held by Abdallah Aljamal, a spokesman for the Hamas-run labor ministry in Gaza who has contributed to several news outlets in the past, and who was a correspondent for the Palestine Chronicle, which is run by the nonprofit.
Meir Jan, along with hostages Shlomi Ziv, 40, and Andrey Kozlov, 27, was rescued from Aljamal’s home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat on June 8. Hostage Noa Argamani, 26, who was held some 180 meters (200 yards) away, was also rescued. Despite their buoyant appearance upon their return, the four were said to have faced harsh conditions in captivity.
The four were abducted from the Reim-area Nova music festival on October 7, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take 251 hostages. Three-hundred and sixty people were killed at the Nova massacre.
