Around 100 anti-government protesters block Tel Aviv’s Begin Street for several minutes, calling for a deal to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since October 7.

Dressed in black to mark Memorial Day, which begins tonight, the protesters shout at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s motorcade as it passes, according to the Israeli Pro-Democracy Movement that organized the protest.

The protesters wave signs including, “No hostages — no independence,” “Redeem prisoners at any cost” and “Deal now.”
