Tel Aviv Rally Calling for the Releases of All Hostages Draws Over 100,000

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – On Saturday night, over 100,000 Israelis gathered in what is now referred to as “Hostage Square” outside the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The assembly marked the “50 Days of Hell” since Hamas’ attack on Israel on November 7, known as the “Black Sabbath,” during which the terrorist organization abducted approximately 240 hostages.

Event attendees called for the release of all hostages while awaiting the delayed release by Hamas until midnight Israel time. Hamas accused Israel of violating the cease-fire agreement.

However, just before the deadline on Saturday night, Hamas released 17 hostages, including 13 Israelis and 4 Thai citizens.

The gathering witnessed the involvement of friends, family members of the captives, and supporters, including leaders from Israel’s Druze community. Sheikh Muafak Tarif, the head of the Druze community, conveyed profound anguish over the situation, stating, “It’s hard to describe how much the heart hurts. To see the children, women, and elderly hurt—what kind of evil is this?”
