Family members of the hostages held in Gaza call on the public to join them this evening in a march to the Gaza Strip border to call for a deal to bring the captives home and end the war.
“With reports of a potential deal emerging, hostage families will lead a march today along Route 232 in the Gaza border area, continuing their fight to bring home all hostages and end the war,” the Hostage Families Forum says in a statement.
“The hostage families are calling on the Israeli public to join them in this march and show once again through action that the people stand with the hostages.”
The march will depart from Kibbutz Be’eri at 5:30 p.m.
