2. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker:
"Yesterday it was reported that (Benjamin) Netanyahu intends to call up reservists for another round of fighting. The only thing to come out of that will be more dead hostages. It is unthinkable, and unforgivable. He is sending soldiers to an unnecessary war, a war that he refuses to end. Netanyahu is already explaining that the return of the hostages is a secondary goal – my son’s life is secondary to him, everything is secondary to preserving the coalition."
3. Mid of Zangauker and Zahiro Shahar Mor, nephew of hostage Avraham Munder, speaking
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Zahiro Shahar Mor, nephew of hostage Avraham Munder:
"With great sorrow we make this statement here today: The only way to bring all our hostages home is by kicking Netanyahu and his government of bloodshed to the curb. This government will not bring them home! They have sentenced them to death! To becoming MIAs! The only way to bring them home is by replacing this government. That has become perfectly clear after five hundred and seventy-five days."
5. Families on street
STORYLINE:
Relatives of Israeli hostages held in Gaza called Saturday for the removal of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government during their weekly statements.
"The only way to bring all our hostages home is by kicking Netanyahu and his government of bloodshed to the curb," said Zahiro Shahar Mor, nephew of hostage Avraham Munder.
Since the beginning of March, Israel has cut off Gaza from all imports, leading to what is believed to be the most severe shortage of food, medicine and other supplies in nearly 19 months of war with Hamas.
Israel says the goal of its blockade is to pressure Hamas to free the remaining 59 hostages taken during its October 2023 attack on Israel that launched the war.
