The Tikva Forum was started by parents and siblings of Israelis kidnapped into Gaza during the murderous attacks on Simchat Torah / October 7th. Their loved ones are being held hostage by Gazan terrorists, who demand that Israel release terrorists and murderers in order to secure the hostages’ release. 

The Tikva Forum, composed of hostages’ families and friends, is dedicated to the release of every single person in Gazan captivity by means which strengthen the State of Israel and its security. 

The Tikva Forum will not allow our children, parents, and friends to be used to bolster our enemies or enable them to repeat the attacks of October 7th. Our only option is to win this war and to remove any incentive to ever attack Israel again.

The Tikva Forum works to support the families of the hostages as well as the security forces fighting for the hostages’ release. 

We aim to unite our nation and strengthen the national spirit through public advocacy and action until every hostage is home.
