Hundreds of protesters are marching in Jerusalem in a show of support for the hostage-ceasefire deal set to take effect tomorrow.
“We won’t stop until they all return,” chant the demonstrators as they set out from Zion Square in Jerusalem’s city center.
The deal’s first phase will see 33 hostages — women, children, the elderly, and sick — freed over 42 days.
Protesters carry banners with the faces and names of hostages slated to be released in the second phase of the deal.
