The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, asked in a statement, on Friday, that Jews observe the Shabbat, as a support for the hostages, some of which are expected to be released an hour before Shabbat begins.

Lau said "Amidst the joy and deep emotions surrounding the return of some of the hostages and our ongoing prayers for the safe return of those who remain and for the success of our security forces, it is essential to bear in mind that just as Israel has faithfully observed the Shabbat, the Shabbat, in turn, has safeguarded Israel. Through our commitment to observing the Shabbat, with the help of the Almighty, we will, God willing, swiftly see the return of all hostages and those missing, in robust health."
