'No ceasefire till Israeli hostages return'

Tel Aviv, Nov4

The families of Israeli hostages and missing persons said in a statement on Friday that there won’t be any ceasefire without their release.

The families of the hostages and missing persons have announced that they will stand at the entrance to the HaKirya base (near the Hostages' Plaza) until they are assured that the ceasefire proposal will not be tabled till the missing persons return.

Mreanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reached Israel where he will meet the war cabinet comprising Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister without portfolio and ex-Chief of Staff of Israel Military, Benny Gantz.
