‘Get them out of hell’: Gaza hostage families enter cages, block Israel’s Highway 1

‘You abandoned them to hell’

In a message directed at Netanyahu, they said, “Mr. Prime Minister, you are the head, and it is your responsibility to bring them home. Go to a deal, ignore Ben-Gvir and Smotritch, and bring home those whom you abandoned and have been in hell for 154 days. There is no complete victory without the return of the hostages, and if you cannot bring about a deal now, make way for someone who can.”
