The security cabinet is now convening at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem to discuss Israel’s response to Hamas’s postponement of the release of hostages, officials say.
Before the meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an assessment with security officials on the matter.
Hundreds of protestors stand in the street outside Netanyahu’s office, calling for every hostage to be brought home.
Banging on drums, holding hostage placards, yellow ribbons and flags, some with their hands dipped in red paint to demonstrate that the blood of those killed on October 7, 2023 and in Gazan captivity is on the hands of the present government, protestors call out, “We will not abandon them.”
