Against the background of the apparent lack of progress in the negotiations for the hostage deal, and Prime Minister Netanyahu's refusal to send an Israeli delegation to follow-up talks that Egyptian intelligence officials wanted to hold today in Cairo regarding the hostage deal.
The headquarters of the struggle for the return of the abducted and missing is intensifying its steps.
Ila Metzger, a relative of Yoram Metzger, began demonstrating this evening (Thursday) in front of Shaar Begin of the Kriya together with 15 other protesters.
In recent weeks, she also participated in Ayalon blockades.
"As far as I'm concerned, the time has come for the people of Israel to take to the streets and fight for the abductees and for the proper management of this war. I do not trust whoever is in charge, as long as he makes decisions alone. He has given me enough reasons not to trust him. Let him share Gantz, Eisenkot, Nitzan Alon and all The professionals. It is not possible for him to decide by himself whether to go to Cairo or not," she stated.
He is currently negotiating a deal.
The prime minister has a conflict of interest, he has no reason to end this war.
Old men are still there, women are raped every day.
In what normal world do people continue to live in this trolling?" she said.
About the increase in protest, for the abductees and against Netanyahu, she said, "The families come from all kinds of political backgrounds and agendas.
Everyone wants the children at home.
Other people who go out on the street talk about different things, there is a great fear that if they come to help us in our struggle, the poison machine will classify us as Kaplanists.
The families are not concerned with the elections but with appealing to Netanyahu to do everything he can.
Valentine's Day was yesterday and there is no love in the air, his heart and that of his government is closed."

At the same time, the families of the abductees issued a statement to the media from the Intelligence Heritage Center in Gilolit in which they demanded an immediate meeting with the Prime Minister and the War Cabinet.
Moran Stella Yanai, who was released from Hamas captivity in the previous hostage deal, said, "I still remember the smell, the fear, the terror that hit me and continues to hit me every day and night. I went through death, and now those who remain there go through death. The girls in captivity are going through physical and mental rape. No It is possible that now we are given the opportunity to finally end this suffering and Israel refuses to send representatives to the negotiating table in Cairo and lead to a deal to free everyone."
"Among the abductees is not the son of a prime minister or the daughter of a high-ranking minister, they are ordinary people who are abused by Hamas henchmen, and remain promiscuous," said Robi Chen, the father of Itai Chen, who was kidnapped from the IDF base in the Gaza Envelope.
"Right now it feels like the US wants to lead to a deal more than Israel.
The person on whose watch the failure took place, should bring the abductees home.
You have no mandate to sacrifice them."
Shelley Shem Tov, the mother of Omar Shem Tov, who was kidnapped from the Nova party in a cry of despair: "After 132 days in which I cried, begged, shouted and traveled around the world, I understand that there is a real opportunity.
132 days they asked me to wait and I have no more air left.
I am exhausted, confused and missing and in great distress.
I know one thing: only you can bring them back."
Later this evening, dozens of protesters blocked Derech Begin in Tel Aviv chanting "bring them home now" and "deal now".
