A group of hostage families, who have in recent weeks taken a more combative approach in their campaign to free their loved ones, will give a press conference tonight at 6:15 p.m. outside the Kirya Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The group says it will address the video released this week of female soldiers kidnapped from the Nir Oz military base, information about the kidnapping of Matan Zangauker, the alleged scuttling of a proposed hostage deal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the accountability of war cabinet ministers Benny Gantz and Gadi Eizenkot, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and other ministers.
The group will also hold a separate demonstration, titled “Night of the Mothers,” at 8:30 p.m. outside the Defense Ministry after the main anti-government rally.
Speakers at the rally will include Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is held hostage; Vicky Cohen, whose son Nimrod is held hostage; Anat Angrest, whose son Matan is held hostage; Mayaan Sherman, whose son Ron was killed in captivity; and Yifat Calderon, whose cousin Ofer is held captive.
