Demanding hostage deal, demonstrators march through Jerusalem to PM’s home

Hundreds of demonstrators demanding a hostage deal are marching in downtown Jerusalem to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home.

The protest takes place as the premier sends a delegation of high-level negotiators to Qatar, to reach a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas.

“I have just one thing to say to you, to the government and prime minister — don’t return without a deal,” says Itamar, a protest organizer, before marchers set out from Zion Square.

Police are redirecting traffic on King George Street as protesters continue to Paris Square, where they will hear speeches from hostage family members.
