Families of hostages from 'Forum Tikva' responded to the call for shutting down the economy on Sunday, stating that "the forum's families were shocked by the initiative that strengthens Hamas and weakens Israel." They added that "the families remind us that we must remember who the real enemy is that massacred us on October 7 and continues to abuse and starve the hostages. Instead of shutting down the economy, the families ask the Israeli public - let's take action, strengthen the war wounded and grow stronger in mutual solidarity."
