Israeli protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday (October 25), urging the government to finalise the hostage deal and secure the return of the remaining deceased captives held in Gaza.
Among those present was recently released hostage Eitan Horn, who was seen embracing supporters alongside his brothers. Demonstrators carried large banners featuring the faces of hostages whose bodies are still believed to be in Gaza.
Ruby Chen, father of Israeli soldier Itay Chen — killed on October 7 and taken to Gaza — attended the rally at Hostages Square. He said he had met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio before Rubio’s departure and emphasised the need to recover the remains of all hostages, including his son’s.
Under a U.S.-brokered agreement aimed at ending the Gaza conflict and securing hostage releases, Hamas freed 20 living captives and was expected to return 28 deceased, but still holds 13 bodies.
The U.S. State Department said Rubio’s visit to Israel was part of efforts to advance President Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan, which outlines reconstruction, stable governance, and potential steps toward Palestinian statehood.
Both Israel and Hamas have reaffirmed their commitment to the U.S.-mediated ceasefire, though each accuses the other of violations. The deal has so far enabled hostage releases, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, the return of some bodies, and a limited Israeli troop withdrawal.
