Without the release of the hostages, "there can be no victory in this war," says Niva Wenkert, mother of Omer Wenkert, taken hostage by Hamas on October 7 at a music festival in Reim. Several families of hostages express their satisfaction after a meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. "They declared that the release of the hostages and their return to their country was an absolute priority," says Jacky Levy, a relative of the Kalderon family, several members of which were abducted by Hamas.
