Thousands of people took to the streets in Tel Aviv to call for the release of hostages and an end to the war in Gaza. Former hostages spoke at the rally, sharing their experiences and calling on the government to bring back the captives. The protests come after Hamas released a propaganda video featuring a hostage, Elkana Bohbot, who expressed his longing to return home. The government has been criticized for not prioritizing the release of the hostages and for abandoning its citizens in Gaza.
