Bereaved families march in Jerusalem: "Stand firm against Sinwar" 

Bereaved families from the Heroes Forum and their supporters marched outside the cabinet meeting on Monday morning to push back against pressure to halt the war and capitulate to Hamas' demands.

During the march, demonstrators urged the Prime Minister and his ministers not to allow Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to claim the victory he has been pursuing.

The march began at the Heroes Tent, which was established a few months ago across from Cinema City in Jerusalem. Heroes Forum Chairman Yehoshua Shani, whose son Major Uri Shani was killed in action on October 7th, called on Histadrut labor union chief Arnon Bar-David to end the strike.

"The strike that you are leading is weakening the people of Israel. I call on you to return the public to work and their day's toil. We need to all be together on one front against terror, not against the government. We must push the government to give support and apply military pressure until victory. We know how much military pressure overpowers Hamas. I call on all economic leaders—don’t lend a hand to the strengthening of Hamas."
