Hostage survivor Guy Gilboa Dalal spoke for the first time at a rally in the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, saying, "I stand here after two difficult and long years that felt like eternity. Two years of darkness, longing and fear - but also hope that I refused to give up. The hope came from you. Before I went down to the tunnels, I was exposed to photos from the square. You gave me hope and strength." He added: "Thank you to the brave and heroic IDF soldiers, I am standing here today thanks to you. We will not forget the three hostages still in Gaza, Ran, Dror, and Suttisak, the mission is not yet complete."
