<p>Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz condemned the boos, stating, “Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and above all [US] President [Donald] Trump – all of them mobilized and moved heaven and earth to bring about the release of our hostages,” Gantz said.</p><p>“I have immense appreciation for the public that comes, week after week, to Hostage Square and to rallies across the country. And I am also part of that public. But even when there are disagreements, shouting boos at the Prime Minister of Israel, in front of an American envoy and in the presence of the hostages’ families, is a mistake. Not today, and not in front of these people. I am certain that these shouts do not represent the majority of the people of Israel, nor most of those present in the square. And this is an opportunity to say thank you – to President Trump, to Steve Witkoff, to Jared Kushner, and to all those working day and night to bring our loved ones home.”</p> | Read More in News from Israel
