Thousands took part in the "United on Purim" Adloyada [festive procession] in Jerusalem.
The Adloyada was led by a display of the pictures of the hostages, who have been held captive in Gaza for 171 days, alongside a display of 134 yellow cranes, as the number of hostages.
Several of the hostages’ families led the Adloyada, including the families of Lior Rudaeff, Romi Gonen, Carmel Gat, Itzik Elgarat, Ofer Calderon, Omer Shem Tov, Uriel Baruch and Tal Shoham, who were accompanied by Mayor Moshe Lion.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancels the planned trip to Washington by his top aides Ron Dermer and Tzachi Hanegbi after the US refrained from using a veto to block a UN Security Council resolution backed by Russia and China that called for a ceasefire without conditioning it on the release of hostages.
In a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Israel says the US is harming the war effort and attempts to free hostages by the decision.
The statement calls the decision “a clear retreat from the consistent US position in the Security Council since the beginning of the war,” and one that “gives Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to get a ceasefire without releasing our hostages.”

Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant’s remarks prior to his meetings in the US:
“I am now beginning my visit to Washington as a representative of the State of Israel, on behalf of the Government of Israel. I came here to reflect the importance of strengthening the IDF and empowering the State of Israel.”
“In my first meeting, which will be with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, I will stress the importance of destroying Hamas and returning the hostages home. We will operate against Hamas everywhere - including in places where we have not yet been. We will identify an alternative to Hamas, so that the IDF may complete its mission.”
“We have no moral right to stop the war while there are still hostages held in Gaza. The lack of a decisive victory in Gaza may bring us closer to a war in the north.”

Hamas.
A designated genocidal terror proxy of a murderous regime welcome UN Security Council resolution.
It tells you all you need to know about this existential moment - for 🇮🇱, Jews, & humanity, especially as we are celebrating Purim and Queen Esther today in Jerusalem.
For such a time as this, the Biden administration once again turned its back to Israel.
