Around 2,000 people are reported by the Ynet news site at a rally calling for a deal to release hostages held in the Gaza Strip, in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea.
Protesters are calling for Netanyahu to bring back the hostages then quit his role, and ask, “How much more blood will be spilled until you go?”
