Hostages’ families to hold Tel Aviv march, rally to mark 300 days in captivity

To mark 300 days since the start of the war, the families of hostages held in Gaza announce they will hold a march and rally in Tel Aviv this evening.

The march, held under the banner of “Deal or abandonment,” will set off from Hostages’ Square in the coastal city at 7 p.m.

The protesters will make their way to the nearby military headquarters before returning to the square.

According to the Ynet news site, artists set to perform at the event include Arkadi Duchin, Ivri Lider, Lea Shabat and Karolina.

Other events will be held around the country.

Gali Idan, whose husband Tsahi is held in Gaza, says it’s crucial for the public to be reminded of the hostages.

“We want to raise awareness, so that they don’t forget,” she tells Ynet.

The outlet says that many of the families are deeply concerned that the recent killings of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders could frustrate the chances of a hostage and ceasefire deal.
