Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
Hamas released a video that depicted Mengistu, an Israeli civilian, speaking a few short sentences on Monday.
The video of Avera Mengistu, if confirmed to be real and recent, would be the first indication in recent years that he is still alive.
There is no confirmation of when the video was taken, or if Avera Mengistu is still alive. He has been a captive of Hamas in Gaza since 2014.
