President Isaac Herzog speaks at the 100-day rally in Tel Aviv, as those in the audience scream “Now! Now!” over his speech, practically drowning him out.
“I am speaking from here to the hostages, our brothers and sisters, whoever can hear me — we are not giving up on you. We have not forgotten you. We are all working and will continue to work here in Israel and around the world 24/7 in order to bring you home!” Herzog says.
The crowd chants so loudly that Herzog has to ask them to pause to allow to him to address the rest of the world in his remarks.
Switching to English, Herzog says, “I call upon the entire family of nations to do your part. This isn’t just our battle. It is a battle for the entire world. Stand with life and liberty. Stand with freedom and democracy, against barbarism and hate.”
“Stand with our hostages. And help bring them home!” he says. “There is no later. The time for you to act is now.”
