Hostage

Hostage is nothing less than an act of bearing witness. Eli Sharabi recounts his kidnapping from Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, 2023, and his 491 days in Hamas captivity. The writing is unflinching, intimate, and raw. Occasionally, the narrative’s urgency compresses reflection, but its humanity never falters. This is not political polemic; it is testimony — and in that, it’s unforgettable.
