Photos Show Israelis Demonstrating for the Release of Hostages and Ending the Gaza War
ISRAEL, AUG 7 – Demonstrators demand an end to the 22-month conflict and immediate release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, amid renewed international calls for peace.
- On August 7 and 8, 2025, Rajmohan Gandhi and Martin Luther King III called for courageous diplomacy and humanitarian aid to end suffering in Gaza and secure hostages' release.
- Their appeal comes in the wake of Hamas's hostage-taking in October 2023 and amid the nearly two-year conflict in Gaza, during which Israel planned a military operation targeting Gaza City to exert pressure on Hamas.
- Demonstrators in Israel rallied to demand the prompt freedom of individuals captured by Hamas in Gaza and to call for a halt to the ongoing violence, expressing concern for the safety of both civilians and those taken hostage.
- They highlighted the importance of mercy and justice, recalling Mahatma Gandhi’s view that violence may seem beneficial in the short term, but ultimately causes lasting harm.
- The call underscores the urgent need for timely humanitarian aid and peaceful diplomacy to prevent further suffering and promote equal dignity for Israelis and Palestinians.
