STORYLINE:
Around 200 people demonstrated Sunday in Tel Aviv demanding a deal to release the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
“The War Cabinet… must get the right decision and sign a deal that will get our son out of the hell,” said Anat Angrest, mother of Matan Angrest, a hostage held in Gaza.
Over the past week, huge numbers of Israelis have poured into the streets to protest the government’s failure to secure the hostages’ return.
The protests came a week after one of the largest demonstrations of the war following the discovery of another six dead hostages in Gaza, and after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against pressure for a cease-fire deal, declaring that “no one will preach to me.”
The United States, Qatar and Egypt have spent months trying to broker a cease-fire and the return of the hostages, but the negotiations have repeatedly proved unsuccessful.
Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in their Oct. 7 attack.
They abducted another 250 and are still holding around 100 after releasing most of the rest in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel during a weeklong cease-fire last November.
Around a third of the remaining hostages inside Gaza are believed to be dead.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began. It does not differentiate between fighters and civilians in its count.
The war has caused vast destruction and displaced around 90% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million, often multiple times.
