The Headquarters of Families for the Return of the Hostages claimed that despite the police's attempt to evacuate the families' encampment set up outside the Prime Minister's residence in Jerusalem, "the encampment remains standing." The headquarters announced that the hostages' families, together with activists, will continue to stay and protest at the encampment on Gaza Street below the Prime Minister's home. The hostages' families stated: "No evacuation or attempt to push us away will move us from here. We will continue to fight for the return of our loved ones here beneath the home of the one who has been sabotaging every attempt to bring them back for 23 months."
