Michel Iluz, father of abducted fallen soldier Guy Iluz, spoke at the central rally in Hostages Square and said that "Bibi is afraid of us, the Israeli public. Bibi is afraid of half a million people who are here tonight, afraid for his seat, afraid of his trial." He added: "Government ministers are entirely busy with just one task, which is preserving a rogue government and trampling all the rights we've known." Iluz called on Netanyahu: "Admit that this happened on your watch, Bibi Netanyahu. It's not shameful. Take responsibility and appoint an investigation committee."
