Families of the hostages and members of the Women's protest movement have blocked the Ayalon Highway near Yitzhak Sade in protest of the Netanyahu administration's handling of the hostage crisis. “This week, the real war objectives of Netanyahu were revealed: blocking the hostage deal, launching an incitement campaign against families fighting to bring their loved ones home, and gravely harming the security of the state and the safety of Israeli citizens," the Women's protest movement said in a statement. "Netanyahu has abandoned 101 hostages in Gaza to their fate for nearly 400 days, repeatedly neglecting our security," the statement continued. "A government that conducts psychological operations against its own people while persistently neglecting them has no mandate to continue a war that actively undermines its objectives. Only signing a hostage deal and ending the war in Gaza will bring everyone home. A deal—now!”

The alliance between the American and Israeli people is strong and "based on common values and strategic interests in the Middle East," according to a Harris campaign official."So no matter who's in the White House, Israel knows it can fundamentally count on support from the United States," the official said. The difference between Harris and Trump is that with Trump, everything is personal, the official said, taking a shot at Trump's anger with Netanyahu for recognizing President Biden won the 2020 election. "If there's a different Prime Minister, who knows what Trump does?" the official asked. According to the campaign official, Harris has a relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu and frequently sits in on calls between him and President Biden. One of Harris's most important relationships is with President Herzog, with whom she's spoken to regularly since October 7.
