Parents of Israeli troops held hostage in Gaza and families of slain Israeli hostages are demanding a deal to bring their loved ones back home and end the ongoing conflict. At a rally in Tel Aviv, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the mother of a captive soldier, pleaded: “Where are you? Where are you? Bring them home!” The protesters are urging the government to negotiate a ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza, with some families resorting to extreme measures, including hunger strikes. The captives have now endured another harsh winter, with many reports of mistreatment and abuse. The families’ cries for action come as international efforts to secure the hostages’ release have thus far been met with limited success. As the crisis deepens, the pressure mounts on Israeli leaders to take decisive action to bring the missing loved ones back home and restore peace to the embattled region.
