Relative of Gaza captive stages protest outside Likud party’s HQ in Tel Aviv

A cousin of captive Ofer Kalderon has stood in protest outside the Likud party headquarters in Tel Aviv to demand the immediate return of all the remaining people held in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Ifat Kalderon said she would hold a vigil for three hours and seven minutes, “a minute for each day in which Netanyahu’s government has abandoned the hostages”, according to a statement.

It said: “133 hostages have been waiting for over six months for Netanyahu to bring them home, and he failed this test. This week we all observed a minute’s silence in memory of the late Elad Katzir, who was murdered in captivity. We won’t sit quietly until we have to observe a minute’s silence for all 133 hostages.”
