Protesters call for elections, return of hostages in rallies outside ministers’ homes
Anti-government protesters rally outside the homes of several ministers to call for fresh elections and an agreement for the release of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.
Most of the rallies are outside the houses of lawmakers in the ruling Likud party, though the protesters also demonstrate outside the homes of war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot of the National Unity party and Negev and Galilee Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf of the far-right Otzma Yehudit faction.
