Hundreds of people gathered at Meitarim High School in Meitar on Saturday night to demand the return of Ran Gvili, a fallen officer who was abducted over 800 days ago while defending communities near Gaza and the Nova music festival. The rally coincided with a visit by United States officials and ongoing discussions about the next steps in the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, including the possible opening of the Rafah Crossing. Families of hostages, former captives, and local residents called on leaders to ensure that no further agreements or transitions occur until Ran is brought home. Speakers emphasized the deep pain and unresolved trauma in Israeli society, insisting that true recovery and progress are impossible until Ran is returned for a dignified burial.
