(IsraelNN.com) As Jews around the world celebrate their freedom from slavery at the Passover table this coming Saturday night, friends of kidnapped IDF soldiers Ehud Goldwasser, Eldad Regev and Gilad Shalit will mark the holiday as well, but will hold their holiday meal in front of the Prime Minister's official residence in Jerusalem.

The event will be held to highlight the fact that the three soldiers, who were kidnapped by Hizbullah and Hamas terrorists in summer 2006, have still not been freed. It is being carried out by the 'Friends for the Kidnapped Soldiers' organization. Spokesman Miki Leibovitch said in a statement, "The fact that our friends will not be at home for the second consecutive seder proves that the issue of the captives' release is not high on the prime minister's priority list."
