Relatives of hostageswho were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and taken to the Gaza Strip, left Tel Aviv today for a five days’ march to Jerusalem asking for “a deal on the hostages now.” This 63 km route will pass through the center of the country and will lead to the prime minister’s office Benjamin Netanyahu where the relatives will demand from him “the immediate release of all the hostages,” explained the Forum of Families of Hostages and the Disappeared.
The group, which was formed after October 7, when 1,200 people were killed and about 240 kidnapped by the Islamist Palestinian movement, according to Israeli authorities, is multiplying events and speeches to keep pressure on the government and the attention of the public. media.
Yuval Haran, whose father Absalom was killed and whose mother, Shoshan, was kidnapped along with six other members of his family, is the pioneer of this new initiative, the organizers explained. With the portraits of the hostages printed on black T-shirts or on posters, more than a hundred relatives and their supporters started at noon from the square of the Tel Aviv Museum of Fine Arts, which has become the place where they gather, as APE-MPE reports.
“Deal for hostages now” read placards of the protesters. In recent days, statements on this issue by Hamas, as well as by the Israeli government, have brought this possibility to the fore. On Sunday, Netanyahu had mentioned in an interview with NBC the possibility of a deal on the release of hostages.
yesterday, monday, the armed wing of Hamas accused Israeli authorities of “dodging” Qatar-brokered talks for the possible release of dozens of hostages in exchange for the release of “200 children and 75 women” imprisoned in Israel. Today the Israeli military announced the death of Noah Marciano, an 18-year-old Hamas soldier held hostage in Gaza, a day after the Islamist movement released a photo showing her “killed by Israeli shelling.”
