Pressure is mounting on the Israeli government and PM Netanyahu as the families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza launch a protest today, saying no one will go home until all the captives are freed. The families will be camping 24/7 at the Tel Aviv base entrance near the Hostages and Missing Square, staying in tents until the return of hostages. This comes amid building frustration over Israel's inability to secure hostage releases even after 27 days of the Gaza ground offensive that has killed over 9,000 civilians. With 223 Israeli soldiers also dead alongside many Hamas militants, pressure is mounting on the government and PM Netanyahu to resolve the hostage crisis driving the conflict. The families stated that from Friday night onwards, no one will go home until all of the more than 200 hostages returns, underscoring their defiance and demands for action to free the captives.
