Tel Aviv protesters for hostage deal briefly block Ayalon Highway

Protesters in favor of an immediate deal to free the hostages from Gaza have briefly blocked southbound traffic on Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway, before the thoroughfare reopens some 15 minutes later

Many demonstrators, led by a women’s protest movement, have rallied this evening along with relatives of hostages to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to announce a deal during his ongoing trip to the United States.

“The nation wants a deal,” the protesters chant, as well as “Alive, alive, we want them alive” and “No issue is more important, bring back the hostages.”
