The Knesset will host families of hostages held by terrorists in the Gaza Strip for a special conference tomorrow, marking the first formal Knesset-sponsored event featuring hostages’ families since they were kidnapped six weeks earlier.

The conference was arranged by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, opposition coordinator MK Merav Ben Ari and coalition whip Ofir Katz, and is open to all lawmakers.
