Former hostages, relatives of captives still held in Gaza and political rivals of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined rallies in several major Western cities Sunday, including New York, Washington and Toronto, to mark six months since the devastating October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
In New York, thousands rallied at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza outside the United Nations headquarters, including the father of Itai Chen, a slain captive whose remains are being held in Gaza.
Speaking at the rally, former prime minister Naftali Bennett rejected international calls for a ceasefire without the hostages being freed.
“No one call tell us to stop while there is even one hostage there,” he told the crowd.
Rallies were also held in several European cities including Brussels, London, Amsterdam, Milan and Paris.
