Protesters circle Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea for Simhat Torah, demanding hostage deal

24 October 2024, 8:23 pm 6 Edit

Protesters march around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea calling for the government to close a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, marking the Simhat Torah holiday on which 251 Israelis were kidnapped last year.

Instead of circling the synagogue with the Torah, as is traditional on the Jewish holiday, the protesters circle the prime minister’s private residence, waving Israeli flags and holding torches and photos of hostages held in Gaza.

Police officers accompany the march.
