Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe sister of freed hostage Yarden Bibas speaks to protesters near the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, cautioning that continued fighting in Gaza endangers the hostages’ lives.
“Yarden returned alive, [but] Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir were returned dead in a coffin, I can’t run away from these words, from this reality,” says Ofri Bibas Levy.
“Military pressure kills the hostages, military pressure raises the casualties,” she continues.
Addressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, she says: “Don’t offer condolences, bring forth a deal,” adding that the only way to do so is to end the war in Gaza.
Hundreds of protesters are now marching to Netanyahu’s private residence following the speeches.
