A fringe protest took place in Tel Aviv, with participants calling for an end to the war in Gaza to ensure the safety of the hostages held by Hamas. The group, including anti-war activists, emphasized the need for diplomatic efforts and political solutions to keep people in Gaza safe. The protest ended abruptly as sirens warned of a rocket attack from Gaza.
During the protest, the families of hostages joined with other activists, with some sharing their personal stories. The main Hostages and Missing Families Forum has been persistent in drawing attention to the issue, demanding an urgent meeting with Israel’s security cabinet, which has not been granted.
In a somber mood, the families expressed their mixed emotions at a Saturday night vigil in Tel Aviv, as they continue to hope for the safe release of their loved ones. There is a growing frustrated minority calling for an end to the violence, amidst intense condemnation of the Hamas attack on Israel.

The frustration from the minority calling for an end to the violence is completely understandable.

Why are they protesting against Israel's self-defense?

End the war? What about ending the terrorism from Hamas?

The voices of anti-war activists are important, especially in times of conflict.

This protest is a necessary reminder that there are still innocent people suffering in Gaza.
