Einav Zangauker, mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, said at a press conference calling for an end to the war that "the moment has come for all of us to say enough. It's clear to everyone that at this moment when Hamas has been militarily defeated there is no justification for continuing the war." Zangauker added that "there is grave concern for the lives of the hostages and our heroic soldiers are falling and being wounded in a war that has already achieved its objectives. I appeal to the prime minister to fulfill your promise and rise above politics, accept the agreement that is on the table." According to her, "Next Thursday, the people of Israel will come out in masses to demand an end to the war."
