Tel Aviv-Yafo Stands Still – For the Hostages

The Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and the Tel Aviv Foundation are joining the call of the hostage families in their fight for freedom – we will strike tomorrow, Sunday, August 17.

Nearly 700 days have passed. Fifty hostages remain in Hamas captivity under inhumane conditions. We all witnessed the horrific images of Eviatar David and Rom Breslavsky, enduring unbearable suffering – and in our hearts, we made a vow: we will not stay silent and we will not give up.

This is our crucial moment. We call on Tel Aviv residents and all municipal employees to join this outcry. Gather at Hostages Square starting Saturday night, August 16 at 8:00 PM, and demand together: bring them home now.

On Sunday, Tel Aviv-Yafo will participate in the nationwide strike – standing in solidarity with the hostage families with one clear, urgent message: bring them back. Because silence kills. Because only the people will bring the hostages home. Because mutual responsibility isn’t just a slogan – it is the foundation of our existence.

They are there – we are in the square.
