Hollywood actress Gal Gadot: “I’m not a religious person, but after a period filled with so much hardship and pain, there is hope for a great light. I decided to light a candle and pray for the safe return of all our hostages home. For an end to the suffering on both sides, and finally, the end of this unbearably painful war. Sending everyone light and hope.”
Israeli rock icon Aviv Geffen responded with a simple but pointed post: “TR❤️MP.”
His son Dylan, a rising star in his own right, reposted a message from Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is among the hostages expected to be released: “I really hope Matan comes home this week and sees how his mother fought for him and never gave up, even in the hardest hours.”
Comedian and actor Zion Baruch wrote: “What Sukkot guests God has arranged for the people of Israel.”
His long-time comedy partner Shalom Michaelshvili shared the traditional Jewish blessing of gratitude: “Shehechiyanu.”
Singer and actress Miri Mesika posted late at night: “I can’t fall asleep from excitement, anticipation and fear that something might go wrong at the last moment.”
Actress and media personality Maya Wertheimer shared a tearful message: “The happiest day in the world. They’re coming home. The best news in the world. I can’t stop crying from happiness.”
Pop singer Agam Buhbut reposted a message from Liran Berman, whose twin brothers Gali and Ziv are expected to return home, adding: “We’ve waited so long for you. Come home already, our beloved ones.”
Singer and former Eurovision contestant Harel Skaat echoed the sentiment: “We’ve waited so long for you. We can finally breathe again.”
