Cousin of hostage Ofer Calderon calls on government to ‘stop the fighting, pay the price’ for the hostages

Yifat Calderon, the cousin of Ofer Calderon, one of the 132 people still held in Gaza after being seized on October 7, speaks to the crowd at Habima Square in Tel Aviv and calls on the government to “stop the fighting, to pay the price” for the hostages.

“Now is the time to use all our power to save the civilians who are going through hell, and it is only by chance that they are not you,” she says to a crowd, and is met with shouts calling for new elections.

Many members of the crowd are leaving Habima now, some heading to the ongoing rally at Hostages Square organized by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
