Families of Israeli hostages in Gaza are stepping up their demands for action. This week, they called for a nationwide general strike set for next Sunday. Their protest targets the Israeli security cabinet’s recent decision to intensify the war and seize control of Gaza City.
Protest Gains Momentum
The families feel that the government is not doing enough to secure the release of their loved ones. Their call for a strike is meant to send a strong message and pressure leaders to reconsider military plans. Organizers are urging all citizens, businesses, and institutions to join the strike in solidarity.
Escalation Raises Fears
The security cabinet’s resolve to expand military operations in Gaza City has caused anxiety among the hostage families. They fear that a more aggressive offensive could endanger those still held captive. The situation remains tense as both public outcry and military activity escalate.
