Hundreds of demonstrators rally outside the United Nations demanding the release of hostages seized by Hamas during the terror group’s bloody attack on Israel.

The protest on the square outside the UN’s Palais des Nations headquarters in Geneva is organized by the Voice for Freedom coalition, bringing together several Christian Zionist organizing committees.

Many demonstrators wave Israeli flags or wear them around their shoulders, or hold posters featuring pictures of missing Israelis, including children.

Leon Meijer, president of Christians for Israel International, urges the UN Human Rights Council to “work for the release of the hostages,” saying: “Save the lives of those who can still be saved.”
