Protesters are marching through Tel Aviv on their way to a rally outside the US Embassy branch in the coastal city, calling for a deal that would secure the release of all the hostages held in Gaza.
Protesters are expected to rally outside the embassy branch at 5:30 p.m.
The demonstration comes ahead of the expected release of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander.
Alexander’s release was announced by the Hamas terror group as a gesture of goodwill to US President Donald Trump ahead of his trip to the region.
