"So I think if somebody needs to do it, it’s us, the people, we don’t have any choice. We have to do what the government is not able to do. They don’t want to, they prefer their seats in the Knesset. They prefer the religious partners in the government and they don’t care about people that really live here and care about this country."

STORYLINE:
Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in central Jerusalem on Monday night, calling on the Israeli leader to reach a cease-fire deal with Hamas to bring the remaining captives home from Gaza.

Cease-fire negotiations have dragged on for months.

Many blame Netanyahu for failing to reach a deal, which opinion polls show a majority of Israelis favour.

But the prime minister also has significant support for his strategy of “total victory” against Hamas, even if a deal for the hostages has to wait.

Three of the six hostages found dead – including an Israeli-American – were reportedly scheduled to be released in the first phase of a cease-fire proposal discussed in July.

In Tel Aviv, Thousands of Israelis poured into the streets for a second day on a row on Monday, in grief and anger after six more hostages were found dead in Gaza.

Their deaths fuelled fury and frustration among Israelis, who have held massive protests in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv since the news broke.

And a rare general strike on Monday to protest the failure to return hostages held in Gaza led to disruptions around the country.
