Udi Goren, the cousin of fallen hostage Tal Haimi, spoke during the women's protest display at Habima Square, saying: "Today the 629-day war continues. A war that doesn't stop, doesn't cease killing our soldiers, doesn't bring back all the hostages, and most seriously – has no diplomatic horizon formulated to end it with victory." According to him, "The war in Gaza represents a complete failure: Hamas still exists, the hostages are still in danger of disappearing forever and the government promises us only one thing: more of the same."
