Dozens of family members of hostages and their supporters protest outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem, calling on him to reach a deal to free the captives held by Hamas in Gaza.
They warn that a deal is even more urgent with winter approaching.
“The hostages won’t survive the freezing cold in the tunnels of Gaza,” the organizers say in a statement.
“While Netanyahu and his team are busy trying to skew public opinion, 101 hostages are dying in impossible conditions.”
