This phrase has been reiterated in recent weeks by family members of hostages held in Gaza captivity since Simchat Torah. Earlier this week, the families announced their plan to chant, “Passover is over, we are all still in Sukkot,” outside the Prime Minister’s Office while the war cabinet convened.

In late March, amid the Purim festivities, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum stated its intention to erect a Sukkah in Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv, commemorating the hostages.
