Relatives of the hostages held in Gaza rally outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea after they camped out overnight to protest what they said was the government’s inaction in securing the release of their loved ones, asserting that “time has run out” for those held by terrorists in the Strip.

Shelly Shem-Tov, whose 21-year-old son Omer is among the hostages held in Gaza, issues a desperate plea for supporters to stand with the families to show the government that there is public support for a deal.

“Do you know where your child slept last night?” she asked viewers. “Can you call your child right now and ask how he is? For 105 days, I haven’t known where my child is,” she cried.
