On Sunday, relatives and friends of hostages taken by Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, on October 7, 2023, called a nationwide strike. Around 25 hostages are believed be alive in Gaza. The protests took place across Israel, some outside of politician's homes, military bases, and highways.

The “day of stoppage” was organized by two groups representing some of the families of hostages and bereaved families.

Protesters in Israel escalated their ongoing campaign on Sunday to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.
