Hostage families camping out outside PM’s Jerusalem residence in sleeping bags
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe parents of hostages Matan Zangauker, Matan Angrest and Rom Braslavski are currently camping out in sleeping bags outside the official residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Jerusalem’s Azza Street, protesting the reported IDF commencement of its Gaza City takeover.
They are joined by the father of slain hostage Guy Iluz and other relatives of the 48 captives still being held in Gaza.
Zangauker’s mother Einav tells reporters that the families don’t intend to leave, as they fear that the military’s operations ordered by the government are endangering their loved ones.
They are resorting to sleeping bags after police barred them from bringing tents onto the street.

עינב צנגאוקר, מישל אילוז, ענת אנגרסט, אופיר ברסלבסקי ועוד משפחות הביאו שמיכות ושקי שינה – כי המשטרה לא מאפשרת לבנות אוהלים בשטח – ומתכוונות לעשות פה את הלילה ואולי גם את הימים הקרובים. עינב אומרת שהם לא מתכוונים לעזוב את הכביש pic.twitter.com/PILWqyqBYw
