The vigil included a table of empty seats, displayed to raise awareness of the hostages taken by Hamas.A name and face of one of the hostages was displayed on each of the 220 vacant seats. Mr Sagi explained he became aware of his mother’s kidnapping when he observed media footage showing a Hamas militant outside her home.“It was not until six o’clock in the evening when the army came and she was not home, they only found bloodstains,” he said.
“I want people to stand up for everyone that is afraid and say: we are in Europe 2023, not Europe 1939.”
