Relatives, volunteers and activists of Israeli hostages kidnapped on October 7 by militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas have begun a five-day march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, demanding that the government expedite their release. This was reported by RIA News.
The action started on the afternoon of November 14 in the square next to the government buildings in Tel Aviv. On Saturday, marchers plan to arrive in Jerusalem and hold a protest rally in front of the residence of Israeli government head Benjamin Netanyahu.
