Jewish activists in New York City gathered in Central Park for a final rally marking the end of their two-year campaign for the release of hostages held in Gaza. The group, which formed after the October 2023 attack and continued meeting weekly even after official advocacy efforts wound down, expressed a mix of relief and lingering sorrow as the last hostage's body was recovered. Many participants reflected on the deep community bonds formed through their shared activism, with some planning to redirect their energy toward other causes within the Jewish community. The movement has sparked new grassroots initiatives, as organizers look to maintain the momentum and sense of unity built during the rallies.
