The Jerusalem branch of the Hostage Families Forum has converged with demonstrators protesting a Rafah offensive in Paris Square, outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence.
The hundreds of protesters are chanting for an immediate hostage deal.
”Bibi is abandoning the hostages!” the demonstrators shout.
Earlier this evening, Hamas announced its agreement to a ceasefire proposal. Israel says it did not meet its key demands.
Elan Siegel, the daughter of Keith Siegel who was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, thanks the demonstrators and says she is sure that her father can “hear the noise and energy from the tunnels in Gaza.”
