By any means necessary and through all available channels, our most important mission is to bring all hostages back home.

PROVIDING SUPPORT

We provide hundreds of families whose loved ones are held hostage with medical, emotional, and psychological support.

GETTING JUSTICE

Establishing international criminal accountability against Hamas and defining their actions as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum was established less than 24 hours after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which approximately 1,300 civilians were murdered and 251 were taken hostage. It is a civil, non-political organization comprising thousands of volunteers, family members of the hostages and the missing and their friends, alongside senior professionals from the fields of security, law, communications, advertising, creative, and diplomacy.

We wish to express our deep gratitude to everyone who acted and assisted in the return of the hostages: to the families who carried the struggle day by day, to the Forum staff, to the volunteers, to the public in Israel and around the world, to the security forces and professional teams, to decision makers, and to partners in the international arena.
