I’m really looking forward to hug Carmel, to have her back with her father, with her brothers, and to have 120 people back with us. I really hope that my Prime Minister is going to say that tomorrow, because this is all we want at the moment. We want to have our people back and this is our chance."

STORYLINE:
While Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is in the United States, hundreds of Israelis marched to the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv on Tuesday calling for an immediate hostage deal.
Families of hostages participated in the march.
Netanyahu has indicated that a cease-fire deal, that would free dozens of hostages from captivity in Gaza, could be taking shape.
In a meeting late Monday in Washington with families of hostages, Netanyahu said the conditions to bring the captives back were “ripening,” according to a statement from his office.
He said that was happening because of the fierce military pressure Israel was putting on Hamas.
He gave no further details on the deal’s progress.
For weeks, Israel and Hamas have been considering a United States-backed cease-fire deal that would bring a halt to the nine-month war and free the roughly 120 hostages taken by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack.
About a third of the hostages are said to be dead, and Israel’s military announced Monday that two more died in captivity.
Netanyahu faces intense pressure from a broad swath of Israelis to agree to the deal.
He has vowed to defeat Hamas before stopping the war, a term that has been a main sticking point throughout the negotiations.
The families of hostages had demanded that Netanyahu nail down a deal before flying to Washington, where he will address Congress and is expected to meet President Joe Biden.
