The families of Israeli prisoners held in Gaza are planning to stage a protest on Sunday near the border with the enclave, demanding that the Netanyahu government conclude a swap deal for their immediate release "in one fell swoop," according to Hebrew media reports.

The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Saturday: "The families of the kidnapped will gather tomorrow on the border with Gaza, specifically in Kibbutz Nir Oz, to raise their voices in a plea for their loved ones who are still in captivity."

The newspaper indicated that Israeli families will use loudspeakers to make their voices heard by their imprisoned relatives in Gaza.

The Israeli Prisoners' Families Authority said in a statement that this gathering "comes after 561 days without hearing the cries of 59 abductees or knowing their fate."

"If we do not act now, we are condemning the living to death, and we will no longer be able to locate and bring back the dead," the statement read.

The organization appealed to the government, saying: "We appeal to decision-makers: conclude an agreement that leads to the immediate and immediate release of everyone."

Earlier on Saturday, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released a video of an Israeli prisoner held by it, in which he sent a voice message to his mother, saying: "My dear mother, you are certainly fighting for me, as I have always known you."

Al-Qassam Brigades did not show the prisoner's photo in the video, nor did it reveal his name or any other details about him.

The 21-second video concluded with an image of an hourglass, with the words "Time is running out" written beneath it in Arabic, English, and Hebrew.

On Friday, the Authority called on the Israeli public to join the families of the prisoners in several major events and demonstrations in several areas, including Tel Aviv, on Saturday, to demand an immediate deal for the return of their loved ones.

"Join us at the main protest in Abductees' Square, under the slogan 'We only have one more push left,'" the organization said in a statement, symbolically referring to the last remaining hope they have for the return of their captive relatives.

She pointed out that the demonstration aims to send a message to Israeli decision-makers: "We demand an agreement that leads to the release of all abductees, the living ones so they can be rehabilitated, and the dead ones so they can be buried with dignity."

In its letter to the Israeli government, the commission stressed that "Hamas cannot be defeated as long as it holds a single prisoner."

She added, "The Israeli people chose the kidnapped soldiers. They are above politics and above all disagreement. History will remember those who sat back and remained silent, and those who stood up and took action."

She noted that numerous demonstrations will take place on Saturday evening in Israeli cities and regions, demanding the release of prisoners, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Sha'ar Hanegev Junction, and the Karmi Gat neighborhood north of Kiryat Gat.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 59 Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip, 24 of whom are still alive. Meanwhile, more than 9,500 Palestinians are languishing in its prisons, suffering torture, starvation, and medical neglect, many of whom have died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

In early March 2025, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel concluded. The agreement, which went into effect on January 19, 2025, was brokered by Egypt and Qatar and supported by the United States, and the Palestinian movement adhered to it.

However, Netanyahu disavowed the start of the second phase and resumed the genocide in the Gaza Strip on March 18, in deference to the most extreme faction within his right-wing government, according to Hebrew media.

Since resuming its genocide, Israel has killed 1,783 Palestinians and injured 4,683 others, most of them children and women, according to the Gaza Health Ministry on Saturday morning.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 167,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
