President Isaac Herzog is meeting with representatives of the families of the hostages in Gaza at his Jerusalem residence.
Roughly 70 family members of 35 hostages are participating in the meeting, and Herzog will meet with additional relatives in the coming days.
Anger at the government has grown among the hostages’ families in recent days as Israel has launched the first stage of its ground incursion into Gaza, which some of the relatives fear might risk the hostages’ lives.
