Orna Neutra, mother of fallen hostage Omer Neutra, spoke at a rally in Hostages Square and said that "occupying Gaza poses an immediate and real danger to the 48 hostages, endangering their lives and risking their disappearance. This is not a gut feeling, but a definitive determination by professional experts. The cabinet is deciding to occupy Gaza against the position of the IDF Chief of Staff and security officials, without a plan for how this won't lead to the murder of the hostages. Those who don't provide answers today will be marked with disgrace forever."
