Hostage survivor Ilana Grichevsky, partner of captive Matan Tzengauker, spoke at a rally in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv and cried out: "I can't believe you've been abandoned there for 701 days already. This government promised us security but 48 hostages are still there, heroic soldiers are still risking themselves. For 701 days it has chosen wars, interests and indifference instead of lives. Don't say 'we are doing everything.' You haven't done everything, you haven't done enough. If you had, they would already be here. You, the decision makers, will not come out clean. 701 days is a story of a government that betrayed its citizens."
