Parents of Israeli Soldiers March Alongside Hostage Families Calling for an End to Gaza War

HeadlineOct 01, 2025

In Israel, parents of soldiers marched alongside the relatives of hostages on Tuesday in Tel Aviv, calling for an end to the war on Gaza. The protesters marched with a banner urging U.S President Donald Trump to “Make It Happen.” Here’s Eilat Feller Maimon, the mother of an Israeli soldier.

Eilat Feller Maimon: “We stand here with the mothers of the hostages, because the mothers of Israel are as one. We stand with them until everybody are at home — the soldiers, the civilians, everybody. We want to end this war. We want our children back home.”
