Hundreds of demonstrators demanding a hostage deal are marching to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Jerusalem.
The protest comes at the heels of Hamas releasing a video with signs of life from 19-year-old hostage Liri Albag.
Marchers carry a banner that reads, “They are all humanitarian,” referring to the hostages. Negotiations for a release deal have focused on an initial stage that would see “humanitarian” cases freed first.
Earlier today, four protesters were detained by police outside Netanyahu’s residence, the Walla news site reports.
