Liran Berman, the older brother of the twins Gali and Ziv being held in captivity, said at the Hostages Square that "I ask you to imagine them being held, hungry, wounded and exhausted in tunnels. They are survivors of 700 days, just 100 km from here. They are holding on, surviving each day anew, because we are holding on. We are their lifeline. If we give up, we will never forgive ourselves." He shared that "my little brothers will celebrate their second birthday in captivity next week. A birthday is a day of joy, family, cake and candles, but for us the celebration has turned into a scream."
