Hostage survivor Doron Steinbrecher addressed the rally at Hostages Square, saying, "Exactly half a year ago, I passed from the gates of hell to the State of Israel. I stand here and still can't believe it. I can't believe I was there for 471 days. I can't believe there are people still there, in hell, for 652 days." According to her, "Half a year ago I was returned, Bibi, Trump, the mediators, everyone closed a deal, a deal with phases that was supposed to bring everyone back. It was cut off in the middle. For days now we wake up to 'tomorrow there will be a deal.' This must happen. The deal cannot fade away."
