‘Their time has run out, deal on the table’: Thousands march for hostage deal in Jerusalem

Thousands of protesters calling for a hostage deal are marching down King George Street in Jerusalem.
The march was organized jointly by anti-government protest groups and the Jerusalem branch of the Hostages and Missing Families Forum and replaces weekly rallies typically held separately by the respective groups each Saturday night.
“Their time has run out, deal on the table” protesters chant as they approach the intersection with Ben Yehuda Street.
The protest comes in the wake of Hamas’s publication of proof-of-life videos of multiple Israeli hostages, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose family resides in Jerusalem.
At the front of the protest are large banners depicting the 23-year-old hostage that read: “Free Hersh!” and “Survive!”
