‘We have to shout’: Thousands in Tel Aviv call for return of Israeli hostages from Gaza
Cross to Jerusalem and bring in our correspondent Iris macka Iris good to talk to you first of all two significant events today the rallies of families of the hostages calling for their immediate release and also this press conference this evening from Benjamin Netanyahu the the rally was attended by
Thousands on this the 85th day that people are still that hostages Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza it was very emotional calls for their return uh people who had been held hostage coming onto the stage saying that when they were held in captivity they couldn’t speak out loud and she
They said these 129 Israelis are still Whispering we have to shout uh for their return because we can speak out loud so that was um them and we haven’t heard much about a hostage deal we have heard the possibility uh that that Hamas we heard from Qatar telling Israeli
Sourcers telling the Israeli media that maybe Hamas is changing its position and that there might be a possibility of some kind of negotiation but nevertheless it’s a very small step forward and what we really see at the moment is Hamas saying there’ll be no negotiation until the war ends and
Israel saying that the war won’t end until Hamas is um defeated and the hostages are returned it’s really interesting hereis and we go back a few days we had a press conference from the Israeli side saying that there are facing a threat from seven different theaters of War six countries plus uh
The occupied West Bank as well and yet we see today strikes in Syria to which Pro Iranian Fighters were told 19 are dead bring us up to date what you’re hearing on that yes we heard reports about 5 hours ago two separate strikes one in central Syria near the Aleppo
Airport and one on the border very far away on the border with Iraq uh no one has claimed responsibility for those attacks Israel doesn’t confirm or deny it doesn’t usually we do know there have been a series of air strikes in the past seven days in Syria and we know that actually from
Syrian and Iranian sources because Iran confirmed a week ago the death of one of its commanders um there so we have that as a confirmation from Iran not from Israel but what Israeli um officials say off the Record is this is Iran and Israel are enemies they don’t share a
Border when Iran moves into Syria then they do share a border and that this these actions are against an enemy that is entrenching itself on a country that has a border with Israel and I think that’s what we’re hearing
Thousands of people in Tel Aviv rallied to call for the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza on December 30, 2023. Reporting from Jerusalem, FRANCE 24’s Irris Makler says that some former hostages took the stage and said that they could not speak aloud during their captivity. “They said, ‘These 129 [remaining Israeli hostages] are still whispering; we have to shout’ for their return.”

I am sure the families of those 25,000 Palestinians want their love ones back too.
Call on your gov to stop doing more terroristic behavior than the other side while gaslighting the world every which way
Life is so tough when you're an invader.

And milking it for ever penny and has Biden in his wallet. God help middle east to see Jesus. And thanks for helping Keep yahoo busy. But not enough Gazas dwindling I'm U S and I can't stop Biden till the vote s are in .
There could be 40 hostages released and 1 month pause of war
Until Israelis stop believing themselves as a chosen people
If Mossad knew about the tunnel system. Knew about the Oct 7th attack, even down to the point of entry a year in advance according to the NYT, and a female Mossad officer. Then why did they send all their troops North, and delay the rave by a day? Coincidence?
Critical question Israel should ask is why theyre facing firefights on six fronts. Only one reason: Gaza and Israel's apartheid policies
It’s getting laughable that anyone thinks Netanyahu will listen. Like Trump, he’s a narcissist. They think of no one but themselves.
The masks begin to fall off! “The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by GlaxoSmithKline, which (accidentally) owns Pfizer!” (the one who makes the vaccine against the virus which (accidentally) started at the Wuhan Biological Lab and which was (accidentally) funded by Dr. Fauci, who (accidentally) promotes the vaccine! "GlaxoSmithKline is (accidentally) managed by the finance division of Black Rock, which (accidentally) manages the finances of the Open Foundation Company (Soros Foundation), which (accidentally) manages the French AXA!” Soros (accidentally) owns the German company Winterthur, which (accidentally) built a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan and was bought by the German Allianz, which (coincidentally) has Vanguard as a shareholder, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Black Rock, which (coincidentally) controls central banks and manages about a third of global investment capital. “Black Rock" is also (coincidentally) a major shareholder of MICROSOFT, owned by Bill Gates, who (coincidentally) is a shareholder of Pfizer (which – remember? sells a miracle vaccine) and (coincidentally) is now the first sponsor of the WHO! Now you understand how a dead bat sold in a wet market in China has infected the WHOLE PLANET!""
Folks, for the Deep State this is not about protecting the people, preventing the spread or a cure for the virus, this is about greed, corruption, power and control for them…
Now you know pass it on until the whole world knows the truth.
Releasing hostages wont change the Israeli narrative on Palestinians. A KKK state in my view without the hoods
The poor poor Israelis,, 😂
I have always said it life is not worth living
You can shout but your government is not listening. This is what you get with right wing extremists.
The US donated 200 million dollars more to Israel, the US should have donated 200 billion dollars instead
There are no hostages
Now it’s time for Benjamin Netanyahu abdicate since he’s mentally unstable to be King
As if Netanyahu and his regime cares what these people or any Israeli public want. Him and his cabinet only care about keeping their powers
God save the hostages 😢.
Israeli society has become so radicalised that there is no difference between Netanyahu and other leading politicians who may replace him.
Netanyahu should be brought justice for crimes against humanity.
Notice that Israelis want the hostages back, but not the war to end.
Instead of shouting, they should replace their government with one that does more than work to keep Netanyahu out of prison.
but Israel zionist treats prisoners very inhumanely by stripping the prisoners naked, the whole world sees it, the Zionists have committed too many war crimes, along with their allies, when will the UN dare to give sanctions?
