Lawmakers head to event with settler leader amid day of protests, PM expected to attend

Ministers and MKs are heading into an event in Jerusalem’s Mishkenot Sha’ananim neighborhood with Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz, as demonstrators urging a ceasefire deal to free the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza protest outside.

The demonstration comes amid a day of protests for an agreement to free the captives.

The ministers have come directly from a cabinet meeting at which the issue of a hostage-ceasefire deal was reportedly not discussed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the event a little later.
