Hundreds of Israeli families and activists rallied outside the military headquarters in Tel Aviv on Saturday, demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas and an end to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
Israeli hostage families and activists gathered at Begin Gate in Tel Aviv, calling on the government to negotiate a deal with Hamas for the release of all hostages.
Protesters carried drums, placards with photos of captives, and slogans.
Boaz Levi, a resident and capital market worker, said: “We're demonstrating and trying to exert pressure on our government to abandon its plans to recapture Gaza for the fourth or fifth time and do a comprehensive deal that would release our hostages and end this war.”
Earlier this week, Netanyahu announced Israel would begin immediate negotiations for the hostages’ release while preparing military plans for Gaza City.
The Israeli military also called up 60,000 reservists, a move that may take weeks, allowing mediators time to bridge differences over a 60-day temporary ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas but not yet officially confirmed by Israel.
The plan would see 10 living hostages and 18 bodies returned in exchange for around 200 long-serving Palestinian prisoners. Israel reports that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, 20 of them alive.
