Thousands rally in Tel Aviv for hostages release, marking 2nd birthday of youngest hostage  Hundreds of Israelis gathered in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, January 18, marking the second birthday of the youngest hostage, Kfir Bibas, a few hours ahead of the start of the ceasefire deal with Hamas.  Shiri Bibas, her husband Yarden Bibas, and their children Kfir and Ariel were seized by Hamas infiltrators on Oct. 7, along with more than 200 other people.  Kfir and Ariel are the last of the young children still being held in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli officials.

01:01The biggest thing that I'm doing is praying.

01:03I'm just praying for them to come back.

01:05I'm praying for them to come back alive.

01:17Actually, we don't know nothing about them.

01:21Nobody saw them from the first day that they were kidnapped,

01:25except the video that we have from Khan Younes,

01:28from the camera of the street.

01:30We didn't hear nothing.

01:41to all the country, to all the public all over the world,

01:44that we like to see this great family,

01:48this wonderful family that they were kidnapped

01:51in this terrible day from their house.

01:54When you think about it, the fact that he was kidnapped

01:57when he was eight and a half months old,

02:00and he's turned two today.

02:02He's two years old today.

02:04It's like so long.

02:06And he never celebrated a birthday.

02:10I don't know if it's with his mother,

02:12but nobody light a candle for him.

02:14Nobody made a cake for him.

02:16He didn't celebrate with his father.

02:18He doesn't know what it is to get presents.

02:20He doesn't know what it is to hear birthday music.

02:26And I just hope that this deal will come true,

02:30that all the hostages will come back.

02:33And I hope that my government and Hamas

02:35will succeed to communicate and close the deal

02:37that all 98 people that have been kidnapped will come back.
