With hostage-ceasefire talks resuming in Doha today, hostage families and their supporters hold rallies in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem urging the government to reach a deal to free the captives held in Gaza.

Women’s activists march down King George Street in Jerusalem, chanting that the blood of dead hostages is “on the hands of the government.”

Outside the ruling Likud party’s headquarters in Tel Aviv, activists hold a banner reading: “Abducted alive, abandoned to their deaths. Deal now.”
