As if Hamas cared in the least about anyone’s grief and anger. [IsraelTimes] On foot and bike, thousands of Israel supporters gather in London, Gay Paree, and Berlin to call for the release of hostages held by Hamas![]() for 100 days. Several thousand turn London landmark Trafalgar Square into a sea of Israeli flags and yellow balloons, symbolizing the 132 hostages who remain captive after being kidnapped on October 7. Some supporters hold placards reading, "Stand with Israel" and "Never again is now," while guest speakers on stage lead the crowd in chants of, "Bring them home." Several hundred people also march through the streets of Berlin, waving Israeli flags to demand the "immediate" release of the hostages. Marchers carry signs reading "100 days in hell" and "Bring the hostages home now." Others hold up placards criticizing the Israeli government for "betraying the hostages" and calling for "an immediate ceasefire." And in Gay Paree, a series of events take place at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Earlier in London, around 250 cyclists completed a 4.5 mile (7.2 kilometer) ride inside Regents Park to draw attention to those still detained. |
