Protests stepped up
The Gazette
|August 18, 2025
PROTESTERS in Israel demanding the country’s government make a deal to secure the release of hostages held by militants in Gaza escalated their campaign yesterday, staging a strike that disrupted traffic and closed businesses.
-
The action, organised by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, marked a fresh push, weeks after militant groups released videos of hostages and Israel signalled plans for a new Gaza offensive.
Protesters fear further fighting could endanger the 50 hostages believed to remain in Gaza, only about 20 of whom are thought to be alive. Yesterday, they chanted “we don’t win a war over the bodies of hostages” and demanded a deal.
