“This is not just a military decision. It may be a death penalty for our favorite people,” Hostage Omri Miran’s wife Lishay Miran Lavi said.
Public polls show that an overwhelming majority of Israelis supports the end of the war to ensure the release of the remaining 50 hostages held by militants in Gaza. Israeli officials believe that about 20 hostages are still alive.
The Israeli government faced a sharp criticism at home and abroad, including some of the closest European allies, on the announcement of the army to expand the war.

“I wonder if not only the Israelis, but also for both sides, Grazans will make any difference.”
Mostly, the Israelis killed 251 in Gaza during the attack of Hamas on 7 October 2023 on Israel and 251 were taken to Gaza. Since then, more than 400 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza.
The protesters shook the Israeli flags and carried banners carrying images of hostages. Others urged the government to take action to stop the anger or Trump to stop Netanyahu’s progress with plans to raise the war. A small number of protesters hired images of Gazan children killed by the army.
