Freed Israeli hostage says Hamas treated him better after Trump was elected — and that terror group wanted Harris to win

NY Post   

"Shem Tov said Hamas captors told him “we’re gonna shoot you” if they heard Israeli forces nearby, but his biggest fear was dying from Israel’s military campaign in the Palestinian enclave."


"A freed Israeli hostage revealed his Hamas tormentors “immediately” treated him better when President Trump was elected — and claimed the group of terrorists wanted Kamala Harris to win the 2024 election.
"Omer Shem Tov, 22, provided insight into Hamas’ political calculations as he detailed the hellish conditions he endured for more than 500 days after he was kidnapped during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
" 'As soon as Donald Trump was elected, they understood that he wants to bring the hostages back home,” he told CNN in a new interview published Wednesday.
“ 'So immediately the way they treated me changed … when Trump became president the way they treated us changed for me personally.”
"His captors provided him with more food while they stopped cursing at and spitting on him, Shem Tov told CNN’s Bianna Golodryga.
