Pro-Israeli demonstrators set up a table near the court grounds for a Sabbath meal with empty seats, commemorating the hostages still being held by Hamas. "We want to symbolize the empty chairs, because we are missing them," said Nathan Bouscher from Center for Information and Documentation on Israel.
