Hebrew media reports that two of the protesters arrested in Tel Aviv this evening were family members of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Referring to the reports, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says that Israel’s leadership “should show much more compassion and sensitivity to the families of the hostages.”
“They and their families were abandoned, and their fight is the most just fight there is,” he writes on X, formerly Twitter. “The minimum is to let them scream out their cries.”
