Former hostage Moran Stella Yanai spoke at the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, saying "Perhaps it's naive, but inside me there is a little girl who carries a simple prayer - to see unity, a nation that understands that without togetherness, we are lost. It's not 'right' or 'left,' 'religious' or 'secular.' It's not 'us' and 'them.' It's one nation." According to her, "The supreme mission to bring everyone back is difficult, complicated and dangerous. Only one side of the nation will not succeed alone. Division doesn't bring anyone back. Unity does. Our voice is strong when it's united. Our heart beats when it's one."
