Hundreds of right-wing demonstrators in Jerusalem are preparing to march to the Prime Minister’s Office, in opposition to the hostage deal proposal currently on the table.

The “emergency protest” comes in the wake of quickly advancing negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

“We are calling on the prime minister not to give into this deal… a deal that will free thousands of terrorists with blood on their hands,” says an organizer from a loudspeaker.

Families of the hostages and slain soldiers are leading the march alongside Likud MK Amit Halevi.

“We are marching in order to give our prime minister the strength to succeed,” says an organizer before the march sets out.
