The families' headquarters said that the speakers will call on the prime minister: "For 106 days we begged you and now we demand: stop the execution of the abductees."
The headquarters say that they expect significant action, and that any deal will include all of the abductees - those who are alive and have managed to survive so far, as well as the return of the bodies for burial in Israel.
The message, according to the headquarters, is that "any delay in negotiations quickly turns into a coffin", and if there is no agreement now, there will be no one left to save. Among the speakers will also be Sasha Ariev, the sister of Karina Ariev, who was kidnapped in Gaza, and Shira Vali Elbag, The parents of Liri Elbag, who was also kidnapped.
