NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 19: A man holds a banner displaying photos of kidnapped Israelis at a rally in Times Square demanding Hamas free Israeli hostages on October 19, 2023 in New York City. Family members of hostages held by Hamas were joined by politicians, members of the Israeli community and supporters as they demanded the release of the men, women, and children that were kidnapped by the militant group during its attack on October 7. The event, which was organized by the Israeli-American Council (IAC) and other Jewish community organizations, also projected the faces of the hostages on 15 billboards and showed holograms of the hostages' families on the rally stage. Israeli officials have reported that Hamas has 199 hostages. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images/AFP (Photo by Michael M. Santiago / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP)
