Israeli demonstrators marched through Tel Aviv, gathering outside the U.S. consulate to demand the immediate release of hostages still held in Gaza. The protest took place as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington to discuss the ongoing situation.
🔹 Protest Demands: Protesters carried banners reading "Trump, save us" and "Leave no hostage behind," calling on the U.S. president to push for a deal that ensures the return of all remaining hostages. Many voiced concerns that Netanyahu could stall negotiations and urged Trump to intervene.
🔹 Hostage Crisis: The march follows a recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which has so far secured the release of 18 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. However, more than 70 hostages remain in Gaza, prompting growing public pressure for a resolution.
🔹 Next Steps: Israel has announced plans to send a high-level delegation to Qatar for further talks on implementing the next phase of the truce. As negotiations continue, demonstrators vowed to keep pushing for the safe return of every captive.
