Danny Elgaret, whose brother Itzik was kidnapped, said angrily: "We are here today to show the Prime Minister that he can stop the trucks like we are stopping the trucks now. No truck will enter the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid. We came here to show the Prime Minister that he needs to have courage, to stand up In front of the Americans and tell them, as Golda Meir said during the Yom Kippur War: 'Not a drop of water until I see our captives return home.'"
"I call on all the citizens of the country, come to the checkpoint and stop this humanitarian aid with your body, which is not humanitarian at all because it is only served to one part of the population that is there. The abductees do not receive any humanitarian aid. There are no visits from the Red Cross, no food, medicine, Signs of life, nothing humanitarian is happening to our abductees."

Scout Liebman, her brother-in-law Eliakim Hatuf: "Friends, we were here yesterday and did the impossible - we stopped these trucks. We invite all the people of Israel to come. If there are thousands of people standing here and protesting, the trucks will not pass. The families need you. This humanitarian aid is Moral failure When we don't know where our families are and if they are alive at all, they receive humanitarian aid.
She continues and adds a message to the government: "These citizens are innocent of a crime, they help Hamas and elected Hamas, and there is no reason for them to receive anything and a half from the Israeli government. We demand that the Israeli government have the backbone not to give them humanitarian aid - that's the only way we will receive our abductees Back to".

As mentioned, it turned out that only nine trucks entered the Strip yesterday through the crossing, out of 60 that were waiting.
The remaining 51 trucks returned to Egypt.
"We are proud that we were up to the task and the Kerem Shalom crossing was closed to traffic throughout the day. The long truck convoys to Gaza remained stuck until tomorrow, and we will act so that they continue like this until the release of all the abductees," they said on behalf of "Order 9".
