Tel Aviv, MINA – Thousands of Israelis protested in central Tel Aviv on Saturday, urging the government to secure a hostage exchange deal with Hamas and end the war in Gaza.
Protesters carried signs reading “No Victory Without the Hostages,” as frustration grew over the stalled negotiations in Doha, Qatar.
The Hostage and Missing Families Forum warned the government against missing this opportunity. “Each day of war strengthens Hamas and endangers our hostages,” the group said.
Hamas recently expressed willingness to release 10 Israeli hostages as part of a truce proposal, but Israel remains firm on key demands, including a Gaza buffer zone.
