Landmarks, monuments worldwide light up in orange in memory of Bibas family

Buildings in major cities around the world were illuminated in orange light on Friday night and Saturday, in memory of slain hostages Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, who were murdered in captivity in Gaza after being taken hostage during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre.

The initiative was organized by the Foreign Ministry after their bodies were returned to Israel in recent days, and in total, 108 missions around the world worked to have their host countries participate.

The color orange was chosen by the Foreign Ministry for the project as it has come to symbolize the plight of the young family over the past 16 months, due to the memorable bright orange hair of Ariel and Kfir.

Multiple locations around the United States were lit up, including the Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Fransisco and the Beverly Hills City Hall in Los Angeles.

In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that 14 landmarks would be lit up in honor of Ariel and Kfir, including One World Trade Center, the Empire State Plaza, and Niagara Falls.
