ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN-CONFLICT-HOSTAGES

Relatives and supporters of Israeli hostages taken captive in the Gaza Strip since the October 7 attacks by Palestinian Hamas militants, carry pictures of Hersh Goldberg-Polin (L), Almog Sarusi (C) and Alexander Lobanov as they protest outside the prime minister's office in Jerusalem on September 1, 2024, after Israel announced its troops had found six dead hostages in a Gaza tunnel, including Polin, Sarusi and Lobanov. The six were among 251 hostages seized during Hamas's October 7 attack that triggered the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, 97 of whom remain captive in Gaza including 33 the army says are dead. Scores were released during a negotiated one-week truce in November. (Photo by AHMAD GHARABLI / AFP) (Photo by AHMAD GHARABLI/AFP via Getty Images)
