The families of Israelis being held hostage by Hamas in the Gaza Strip have kicked off a five-day march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to demand the government does much more to secure their release, Reuters reports.
“I demand from Benjamin Netanyahu and the cabinet to give us answers and actions,” said Shelly Shem Tov, whose 21-year-old son Omer was dragged into Gaza five weeks ago.
“Where are you? Where are you?” she said, addressing the government in an impassioned plea at the start of the march.
Netanyahu has so far rejected any talk of a ceasefire, telling NBC News on Sunday that he would only be willing to pause the fighting if all the hostages were freed.
