Later, Ivri Lider will sing "Geshem Acharon" (Last Rain). followed by a speech from Ruthie and Zvika Greenglick, the parents of Captain Shaul Greenglick, an IDF soldier who fell in battle in Gaza. The organizers of the ceremony called on the public to come to the Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, "Let's carry the pain and memory together and say in a clear voice: Time is running out for the hostages who were left behind! They must be returned immediately - the living for rehabilitation, and the dead for a proper burial."
