Family members blast words of support for hostages over the Israel-Gaza border
Armed with just a microphone and loudspeakers, they delivered a message of hope for their loved ones held hostage by Hamas for almost 100 days.
RE’IM, Israel — Armed with just a microphone and loudspeakers, they delivered a message of hope for their loved ones held hostage by Hamas for almost 100 days.
“We’re turning the entire world upside down for you,” said Meirav Gonen, whose 23-year-old daughter Romi remains in captivity, as she stood on Israel’s border with Gaza on Thursday.
“We’re here. We’re here on the fence, we’re here for you and for the rest of the abductees. We’re bringing you home. We’re doing everything, turning the whole world upside down, bringing the entire world together just to ensure that you return,” she added.
Others took the microphone and delivered their own messages, hopeful that their relatives would hear them above the din of the ongoing war.
“It’s Mom and Dad. We’re here, we’re really close to you, we’re fighting for you every single day,” one said.
