‘Live hunger experiments’: Thousands rally for hostage deal after haunting videos of captives
|
[IsraelTimes] Some 10,000 people on Saturday evening rallied at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to demand the release of the captives, after terror groups in Gaza published footage showing hostages Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski severely emaciated and David being forced to dig what he said he fears will be his own grave in a Gaza tunnel.
Thousands more demonstrated a block away outside the Begin Road entrance to the IDF’s headquarters, and in other rallies across the country, marking some of the highest turnouts at the demonstrations in recent weeks.
After the Hostages Square rally, hostage families and their supporters recited traditional Jewish songs of mourning and read the biblical Scroll of Lamentations, in accordance with the customs of the day-long Tisha B’Av beginning Saturday evening to commemorate the destruction of the two ancient Jewish temples. A regular anti-government protest at Hostages Square was canceled due to the fast.
‘STOP EVERYTHING’
Earlier Saturday, US special envoy Steve Witkoff visited hostage families at the square and told them that Washington has despaired of partial hostage deals and is now seeking a comprehensive agreement to end the war and release all the hostages.
Hostage families have long assailed Netanyahu for failing to pursue such a deal, though a senior Israeli official told reporters on Thursday that “there will be no more partial hostage deals.”
Dozens of protesters block Ayalon Highway, demanding deal to free all hostages
[IsraelTimes] Dozens of protesters demanding a deal to free hostages held in Gaza are blocking the southbound lanes of the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv.
They carry a sign reading, “abandonment of the hostages = destruction of the Third Temple. Everyone in a deal — leave Gaza.”
