The protest march for the return of the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists into the Gaza Strip culminated in a central demonstration in Jerusalem on Saturday.
Families of the hostages led the march that began on Tuesday night in Tel Aviv with the demand of the immediate return of all the hostages that were kidnapped from Israel to the Gaza Strip on October 7.
Over 25,000 people joined the families for the last leg of the march and the central demonstration in front of the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, among them opposition leader and Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid and his wife.
The last stage of the march began in Ein Hemed, where thousands joined the hostages’ families for the last kilometers to Jerusalem.

Go ask Hamas.
Like hamas cares......
If they haven’t done it with the threat of military action, they are NOT going to release any hostages simply because of a march.
Besides, any hostages they release are either going to be dead or done after being horribly abused just to taunt Israel.
Wow. Impressive!
May God be with them.
If this kind of business means ‘have a ceasfire’ than hamas wins. And Israel might as well put itself into receivership. The message will be ‘ snatch some Jewish hostages and Israel will fold’.
They know there will be no cease fire.....until Israelie Leadership determins otherwise....for now the answer remains NO....and everyone knows this...and why.
The marchers are trying to force Israel government to completely empty its prisons of Muslims in exchange for the bodies and a few living hostages.
The #1 terrorist raid organizer Haniyeh was one of over a thousand terrorists released in exchange for Gilad Shalit in 2011. That happened after Israeli surgeons removed what would have been a fatal brain tumor from Haniyeh.
Is the general consensus that most if not all remaining unaccounted for hostages are dead? Or the 50 or so Hamas offered in “trade” for a ceasefire are all that are left alive and being kept as a possible bargaining chip?
Sinwar was also released. This is the reason hamas took hostages. They know that they can win if they get a ‘give them what they want, no matter what’ response. It’s worked in the past and they calculate it will again. No doubt there is U.S agitation for this very thing. As said, if Israel goes down this path, it won’t survive.
The day Hamas attacked them nobody was or is going to come away from that ordeal unscathed....let alone weeks of captivity under sadistic Hamas in dark tunnels with limited provisions. Still the Jewish people did recover from the Holocaust brutality after years of torture, rape and unfathomable hunger....they are a strong and amazing people as history has shown....they will survive this too according to Gods will and purposes for them.
It really is unknown apart from Hamas and those perhaps who are working behind the scenes. At any rate Hamas has no interest in keeping them alive apart from using them as bait to get what they want...as we all know.
