Hostages’ relatives urge public to rally in Tel Aviv as Alexander freed
The Hostage Families Forum is asking supporters to pack Hostages Square in Tel Aviv ahead of the expected release of Edan Alexander.
“Together, we will follow all developments and call out in unity: We must not leave anyone behind! Edan’s return must be the beginning of a comprehensive agreement that brings home all the hostages,” the group says in a statement.
Though no time is yet publicly set for the release, the group asks people to show up at noon. A report in a Saudi newspaper claimed the release would take place at that time, but a source familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel it will likely be later.
