STORYLINE:
In a fourth consecutive day of demonstrations, tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets in several cities on Saturday to protest the government’s failure to negotiate a hostage deal and its move to fire the head of the country’s internal security service.

They held up signs calling for an end to the war in Gaza and for new elections to be held. One placard in Hebrew read "Fighting won’t bring back the hostages, only a deal will save lives."

Israel, which cut off the supply of food, fuel and humanitarian aid to Gaza’s roughly 2 million Palestinians, has vowed to intensify its operations until Hamas releases the 59 hostages it holds — 24 of whom are believed alive — and gives up control of the territory.

Hamas says it will only release the remaining hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as called for in the ceasefire agreement mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
