Families of hostages still inside Gaza say ceasefire is ‘one and only chance’ to bring loved ones home Supporters call on all parties to maintain ceasefire until remaming 90 hostages released.
Families of hostages still inside Gaza have warned that this ceasefire is “the one and only chance” to bring everyone home, as fears grew that the deal could flounder with Israel and Hamas accusing each other of breaching the terms.
Relatives, friends, and supporters of the hostages gathered in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv Saturday evening, calling for everyone involved to do “everything possible” to hold the deal until all the remaining 90 hostages are returned.
However, a delay in freeing a different female hostage prompted Israel to block hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from returning to the enclave’s bombed-out north until the issue was resolved.
The grandfather is on the list of those due to be released in the next few weeks as part of the first phase of the ceasefire.
