Yifat Zeiler, cousin of Shiri Bibas — who was kidnapped on October 7, 2023, and whose murder in Hamas captivity was confirmed by the IDF in early 2024 — spoke at a protest reported by N12. The event, drawing dozens of activists, called for an immediate hostage deal. The Bibas family case has become a central symbol in Israeli society of the hostages' plight, and Zeiler's participation underscores the continuing public pressure on the government to secure the release of the remaining captives. No deal has yet been reached.
