The protest on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv disperses and many demonstrators join the rally on Begin Street calling for a deal to release hostages held by Hamas.
Protesters are calling out “we will not stop until they’re all home,” “enough killing, enough despair, the hostages are the most important thing,” and other chants for the release of hostages.
Hadas Kalderon, whose two children were released from Gaza while her husband still remains there, speaks from the bridge above Begin Street, which is being used as a makeshift podium.
Kalderon stresses that her children were released only through negotiations and that a deal must be made to release the rest of the hostages.
