Ofri Bibas, sister of hostage survivor Yarden Bibas, stated that attempts to censor a rally for hostages scheduled for tomorrow evening are a bid to silence them and shift public discourse ahead of the upcoming elections. The rally, organized by the October Council, is set to take place at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, just three days before the elections. The Likud party reportedly requested the rally be censored, claiming it constitutes prohibited election propaganda.

Bibas asserted in an interview with "Shishi" that the censorship attempt is intended to suppress their message. She further declared that "without a change in government, there will be no repair," adding that "everyone who was in a position on October 7 must resign."
