Almost 3 years after Oct. 7, 'Hostages Square' becomes official name of Tel Aviv Museum plaza
Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai said, "The square became a center of solidarity, mutual responsibility, and an uncompromising demand: Bring them, all of them, home."
Three years after October 7, the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality has renamed Tel Aviv Museum plaza to Hostages Square in a ceremony on Tuesday. The plaza, once a gathering place for the campaign to bring hostages home, has become a symbol of solidarity and resilience. Mayor Ron Huldai met with the families of the hostages, emphasizing the importance of preserving their story for generations.
Huldai highlighted the courageous efforts of the families and the square's role as a center of resistance, unity, and determination to reunite the hostages with their loved ones. Since October 7, the plaza has hosted numerous events, including mass rallies and Kabbalat Shabbat ceremonies, marking the ongoing struggle. With the official renaming, the Tel Aviv Municipality aims to ensure that the memory of this pivotal time in Israel's history remains an integral part of the city's narrative.
