Police arrest one protester during a pro-hostage deal demonstration in Jerusalem, after she and several others partook in a display symbolizing the captives’ conditions in Gaza, during a march to the prime minister’s residence.
The display involved four demonstrators wearing scant clothing and covered in fake blood, kneeling on the ground during the procession and raising their hands, bound together with rope.
