Rome, August 17. (LaPresse) – A strike is currently taking place in Israel, organized by the families of hostages against the government's decision to extend the war in Gaza with a campaign to conquer Gaza City, rather than negotiating an agreement for the return of their loved ones. The strike was organized by the October Council, which represents some of the hostages' relatives or mourning family members of the victims of October 7, 2023, and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. Yesterday, the forum stated that nearly one million people will gather at the Hostages' Square in Tel Aviv throughout the day. Tens of thousands of supporters will participate in activities at hundreds of other locations across Israel.
