Hundreds of people demonstrated alongside hostages' families in New York's Central Park, calling to "bring all 59 hostages home now, before it's too late." Rubi and Hagit Chen, parents of killed hostage Itay, said: "Our son, an American, is still held captive in Gaza. We will not accept this reality." Moshe Lavi, brother-in-law of hostage Omri Miran, addressed the crowd: "We need your voice, here and around the world, to ensure the administration makes returning the hostages its top priority."
