personal > March on Jerusalem

During November 2023, relatives of the 239 Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas marched for five days, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Around 30,000 people joined the families on the final stretch to the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem, calling on the government and the international community to focus all their efforts on the release of the captives. The hostages were taken when Hamas militants stormed southern Israeli towns and kibbutzim on 7 October, murdering over 1,200 citizens. Around four months later, with 134 hostages still in Hamas captivity, the families organised a second march.
