Israel stands united for Ran Gvili, refusing terror appeasement until every hero returns home alive.
Dozens of Israelis gathered Saturday night at Meitarim High School in Meitar, issuing a clear national message: Israel must not advance any further agreements while the remains of Ran Gvili are still held by Hamas in Gaza, 827 days after his abduction.
Families of hostages and fallen heroes stood shoulder to shoulder, rejecting moral pressure and international hesitation. The rally underscored Israel’s position that justice, dignity, and national strength begin with bringing every defender home—without concessions to terror or its regional enablers.
Ran’s mother, Talik Gvili, delivered a searing appeal to Israel’s leadership, reminding the nation that her son ran toward danger without calculation, saving lives simply because it was right. She demanded unwavering resolve so that his sacrifice is never sidelined by political bargaining.
Close friend Tom Brodsky recalled Ran’s courage under fire—injured, yet warning civilians and shielding communities. Others echoed that October 7 exposed a stark divide: Israeli civilians and soldiers rushing to protect life, versus terror groups exploiting chaos and human suffering.
Journalists Yoseph Haddad and Sivan Rahav-Meir, alongside regional leader Eshkol Regional Council, reinforced the message that Israel’s healing depends on moral clarity—not appeasement.
The rally concluded with a firm national vow: Israel will not move forward, look away, or soften its stance until Ran Gvili is brought home. Terror must never set the terms.
