Family members of Israeli hostages who are still kidnapped in the Gaza Strip by the terrorist group Hamas announced that they will camp, from this Monday near (18), near the border with the enclave to “climb” their struggle for an immediate ceasefire agreement.
The statement was issued on Sunday when thousands of protesters took the streets of Israel to press the government to get a truce.
“We are required to climb our struggle and do everything possible to bring our loved ones back. We are losing them and, if we do not bring them back now, we will lose them forever,” said the hostage and missing families forum, which represents most kids of kidnapped on October 7, 2023.
The camp will be mounted on the “nearest point” to the hostages, next to the Gaza Strip border, where family members of the kidnapped will spend the night – without indicating even when the demonstration will last.
The group is opposed to the Israeli government plan, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, to occupy the city of Gaza because they understand that they advance militates endanger the integrity of their families.
This Sunday, the streets of the country were the scene of protests and strike
Today, groups of protesters supported by the missing hostage families forum, opposition parties, social groups and entrepreneurs, starred in a national strike – Sunday is a business day in Israel. The agenda was an immediate truce agreement and the repudiation of the government’s military plans.
Protesters blocked some of the main highways, protested in their cities in the morning and at night marched to Tel Aviv.
Police stopped more than 30 people by disturbance of public order, according to a note, where they explain that some of the protests “degenerated in violent disorders.”
After the mornings, according to the forum, about 350,000 people marched to the main Tel Aviv square, accompanied by kids of kidnapped.
Some of the former refens showed pre-recorded messages on a big screen, in which they asked the president of the United States, Donald Trump, “to think about the life of hostages and bring them back home” before supporting the plans of Israeli Premier. Others were present and remembered the days of jail.
Family members of the kidnapped also spoke at the event, some with critical speeches directed at the Israeli Prime Minister, whom they blame for their families remain in captivity 681 days after the beginning of the war.
The protesters raised posters with the faces of the hostage, as well as slogans that said “Trump’s legacy collapses while the war in Gaza continues.” In addition, Israeli and yellow flags were also seen – the color in solidarity with the hostages. The demonstration of the night ended the day national strike.
It is estimated that it still has 20 live hostages and another 30 dead in the Gaza Strip. The war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group began on October 7, 2023, when terrorists invaded Israeli territory, killing more than 1200 people, including children and women.
