The "Sabbath Dinner" table, with more than 200 empty chairs representing the number of abductees and missing persons held in the Gaza Strip, at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv.

The Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum (Hebrew: מטה משפחות החטופים והנעדרים) is a body established by the families of the abductees who were kidnapped to Gaza as part of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, and by the families of the missing persons as a result of this attack. The forum aims to return the abductees from Gaza, to locate those missing from the attack, and to handle medical, legal and other matters related to the abduction and its consequences. It is a group that represents the hostages and kibbutz community and makes announcements of relevant news such as the deaths confirmed of the hostages.[1][2]
