Noam Dan, a relative of freed hostage Ofer Calderon, calls for “an end to Netanyahu’s war” during a protest outside the premier’s private residence in Jerusalem.
The hostages are “destroyed in body and spirit… they are meeting their fate [in Gaza],” she laments.
She demands that the government sign a deal for the return of the remaining hostages in Gaza and a permanent end to the war.
“They call us refusers… but he [Netanyahu] is the only refuser,” she says, charging the premier with refusing to strike a hostage deal, establish a state commission of inquiry into October 7, or take responsibility for the government’s failure to prevent Hamas’s massacre.
As she gives her speech, a sole counterprotester from beyond the police-erected barricades attempts to drown out her speech with loud music.
