“This rally is to send a clear message to (Israeli Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu that we will keep on protesting, we will keep on marching, we will keep on going anywhere in Israel, all around the world, all the way to Washington to make sure a deal will be signed.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Allen Rosenberg, protester:
“We’ve heard quite often that there was a deal on the table and each time it was basically Netanyahu who broke the deal. Right now, as far as the public and Israel understands, all the military people, the army, the Mossad, the Shin Bet, they all say we can make the deal. We can do it. We can do it. And they’re waiting, expecting, probably I bet you Netanyahu will, once again, sabotage the deal.”

STORYLINE:
For the third consecutive day, protesters and relatives of hostages marched through Israel on Friday on their way to Jerusalem demanding the government complete a deal to release their loved ones.
The group is expected to arrive in Jerusalem on Saturday where a demonstration is expected to be held outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
Meanwhile in Cairo, mediators continued to push to narrow the gaps between Israel and Hamas over a proposed deal that would include a cease-fire and hostage release.
Netanyahu’s office said on Thursday that Israel would send a delegation for further talks as U.S., Egyptian and Qatari mediators attempt to seal an agreement.
Obstacles remain, however as Hamas insists that talks continue until a permanent cease-fire is reached while Netanyahu says Israel won’t agree to any deal that would stop its military campaign before Hamas is eliminated.
Netanyahu is under growing pressure both domestically and internationally.
Large segments of the Israeli population are demanding an agreement to release the hostages after nine months of war.
Israel launched the war in Gaza after Hamas’ October 7 attack in which militants stormed into southern Israel, killed some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and abducted about 250.
Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,300 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
It does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count.
