‘They’re out of time, bring them home now’: Protest outside PM’s Caesarea home swells to thousands

The crowd of protesters in Caesarea, which has swelled in size tremendously, is now marching towards the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after briefly blocking traffic.
Moments ago, an activist grabbed the central microphone and described how he had just arrived “from the funeral I never wanted to attend in Be’eri,” the funeral of Carmel Gat, one of the six murdered hostages recovered from Gaza over the weekend.
He then launched the crowd onto a chant of “They are out of time, bring them home now.”
The marchers have completely taken over Caesarea’s Rothchild Street and easily number in the thousands.
