Freed hostages, relatives of abductees and hundreds of their supporters demonstrated again on Saturday night in Tel Aviv, calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take action to secure the release of the remaining hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

Demonstrators are increasing pressure on the Israeli government to release the 112 hostages taken in the deadly attack launched by Hamas on October 7 in southern Israel.

Noam Perry, a relative of the hostage, blamed the war council under Netanyahu for claiming that military pressure was necessary to free the abductees. “Meanwhile, more and more hostages are coming back dead,” Perry said. Other protesters called on the Israeli government to present a plan to rescue the hostages.

However, at a press conference in Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that military pressure on Hamas must be maintained to ensure victory and the return of all those abducted. “We are more determined than ever to continue until the end, until we destroy Hamas and bring back all our abductees,” Netanyahu said.
