Shira Siegel, the daughter of 64-year-old Hamas captive Keith Siegel, is speaking to a crowd of protesters outside the Prime Minister’s residence in Jerusalem.
“Today it is us, tomorrow it could be you… We are all hostage families,” she says.
Siegel’s mother, Aviva, was freed in November in a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas.
A handful of pro-Netanyahu counter-protesters, consisting of a man with a megaphone, a couple of women and their children, can be heard in the background of Siegel’s speech from a nearby street.
