Protesters calling for hostage deal evicted by police from Jerusalem park
Police evict a group of demonstrators who were calling for a deal to release the hostages from a Jerusalem park.
Video shows officers pushing and shoving some of the demonstrators.
Police say they illegally camped in Independence Park overnight.
“The police evicted us by force,” Shay Dickmann, the cousin of executed hostage Carmel Gat, tells Ynet. “There is no reason to use force against 10 people standing with signs. This is the reaction we got.”
“The hostages were executed in captivity. Only a deal can save the others. We are all shaking with fear over who will be next,” she says.
