Families of hostages who were snatched into Gaza on October 7 marched into Jerusalem to demand answers from the Israeli government. The families and their supporters have been campaigning for the release of the captives since the incident occurred. They criticized the government for failing to keep them informed and called for their release to be a priority. The Red Cross has not been able to meet with any of the hostages, and the families have had no news from the Israeli government about negotiations for their release.
