Nivi Feldman, the UK lead of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, said: "It has been 600 long days and nights since the terrorist organisation Hamas kidnapped over 241 babies, children, men and women. Today, 58 are still held hostage.
“Don’t let them be forgotten. Don’t let the world forget that when they were taken, a piece of all of us was taken.
“Until every one of them is brought home, we cannot - and will not - stop advocating for their return."
Board of Deputies president Phil Rosenberg said: “The hostages, taken in such brutal circumstances on 7th October 2023 have now experienced 600 days of agony in awful conditions at the mercy of Hamas. We must remember their plight and ensure that their stories stay in the public consciousness. To change your social media profile costs nothing and takes next to no time, but if enough of us do it, we can make a significant impact. Please join us."
Ariella Knoble–Gershon, campaigns officer at the Board of Deputies, added: “Today, 58 individuals remain in Hamas captivity and the world is beginning to forget.
We’re calling on you to help us amplify their voices and ensure they are not forgotten.”
We ask that you change your social media profile image…to raise awareness and flood social media with the urgent call to bring them home.”
