26th December 2023

In a display of international solidarity and commitment to resolving the current crisis, more than 40 ambassadors and diplomats from all over the world gathered at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv today (Wednesday, December 20th). They met with the families of the hostages and discussed diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing situation at Beit Ariella Library, and then visited the organizational headquarters of the hostage families and their supporters outside at what is now known as Hostage Square.

Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo: "Today there are more than 120 hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza and their fate is still unknown. We at the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality provide every family staying here in Hostage Square with whatever they need to continue their brave, justified, and very painful struggle. They are our residents, no matter where they originally come from. In their name and the name of those held in captivity, I appeal to you today: Help us bring their loved ones home. We don’t have a single moment to lose."
