Watch: Israeli hostages’ families march to Netanyahu’s home on 7 October anniversary

Families of Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas today marched to Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem to demand the prime minister sign a deal to bring the remaining 101 hostages home.

At 6.29 am on Monday, the exact moment Hamas’s 7 October attack started a year ago - they played an air raid siren - and held a minute of silence to remember the victims and hostages.

Among those marching included Shir Siegel, the daughter of American-Israeli hostage Keith Siegel, who was seized by Hamas militants from Kibbutz Kfar Azar.

Ms Siegel said: “I couldn’t have imagined in my worst nightmares that a year would pass and my father would not be home.

“He has been sitting in the tunnels in Gaza and nobody has come to save him.”
