At the end of the protest rally in Paris Square in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the families for the return of the hostages stated that it "demands the Prime Minister immediately dispatch a negotiation delegation for talks on ending the war and returning all hostages." According to the headquarters, "Three weeks have passed and Israel has not yet responded to Hamas's updated response to the mediators. The Prime Minister's personal survival instinct cannot outweigh the need to return all hostages and prevent unnecessary deaths, as part of an eternal war whose purpose is to preserve the coalition."
