Families of Israeli Hostages Protest In Tel Aviv, Demand Netanyahu To Seal Release Deal | Hamas

A weekly rally in support of the hostages' families took place at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening in light of reports that Hamas has sent a delegation to Cairo, Israeli media reported.

The theme of the rally was “You Could Have Saved Them.” Among the speakers were Aviva Siegel, a survivor of captivity, and Shira Siegel, the wife and daughter of Keith Siegel, who remains a captive of Hamas.

This comes after 323 days of captivity for 109 hostages and following a week where the bodies of six hostages, kidnapped alive and murdered in Hamas captivity, were returned to Israel for burial. While the deal for the release of the 109 remaining hostages is still on the table, optimism for its completion has dwindled. Despite this, the Hostage Families Headquarters organized Saturday evening's rally to support the families.

Several family members of the hostages spoke at the rally, including Aviva Siegel and Shira Siegel. Ayala Metzger, the daughter-in-law of the late Yoram Metzger, Eyal Mor, the nephew of the late Avraham Munder, Michael Levi, the brother of Or Levi, and Gil Dickman, the cousin of Carmel Gat, also addressed the crowd.
