The Hostages and Missing Families Forum calls on the public to gather at Tel Aviv’s so-called Hostages Square, as the nation waits for confirmation from Israel on a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas that was announced yesterday.

“These are critical and moving hours for us and for the entire nation of Israel,” the forum says in a statement.

“We are happy and congratulate every hostage who will return. And at the same time, we are anxious about the fate of our loved ones who may be left behind,” the families add, calling on the public to join the Tel Aviv demonstration this evening from 6 p.m.

“Now, more than ever, we need you to be with us. With your hand on the pulse and your eyes on the last hostage, so that we leave no one behind.”
