Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists released a new video of a Russian-Israeli hostage in Gaza Wednesday, forcing him to plead for a cease-fire deal as he lamented a lack of food and water, saying “my fear for my life is daily.”

Alexander “Sasha” Troufanov, 29, was seen alive in the terror group’s latest propaganda video as he described the bleak situation 404 days into his captivity. 

The Amazon employee, who has appeared in three previous PIJ and Hamas videos, said he is now suffering from a skin condition and a lack of food, water and basic hygiene supplies. 

“I want to remind the citizens of Israel that every time you eat something or drink something, remember us, the hostages, who don’t have the opportunity to enjoy food or water,” he says in the video. 

Like with other propaganda videos, Troufanov said the Israeli army’s war campaign in the Gaza strip was threatening his life as he was also forced to praise his captors. 

“My fear for my life is daily,” he says. “The military efforts to release me that [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is selling you is what will end up leading to my death.

“I can tell you I have become scared of the army. I am really afraid of the moment the army might get to me, or blow up the place I am located,”he added. 

Troufanov also called on Israelis to continue protesting and calling on the government to approve a cease-fire deal that will help him and the other 97 hostages go free. 

The 29-year-old lamented that Israel’s current campaign in Lebanon against Hezbollah may have shifted people’s attention from the plight of the hostages. 

Troufanov’s reference to the ground invasion in Lebanon suggests the video was shot within a month, proving he was still alive following his appearance in two other videos in May. 

His mother, Lena, said she was relieved to see him alive, but her family is growing worried about his condition and that of the other hostages.  

“I urge that every effort be made to secure his immediate release and that of all other hostages,” she said in a statement. “They have no time left.”  

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum echoed Lena’s worries and warned that the coming months would prove especially brutal for the hostages in their second year of captivity. 

“With winter approaching, these hostages, who have been subjected to horrific conditions of abuse, starvation, and darkness for over a year, face an increasing risk of losing their lives,” the group warned. 

“It’s inconceivable and incomprehensible that almost a year has passed since the last hostage release deal.”  

Troufanov, his mother, his grandmother, and his girlfriend, were all taken hostage during the Oct. 7 massacre at their home in Kibbutz Nir Orz. 

Lena and her mother were released on Nov. 29, 2023, at the behest of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Troufanov’s girlfriend released during the first round of hostage exchanges that month. With Post wires
