Tens of thousands of Israeli protesters demand hostages release deal
Tens of thousands of Israelis protested in one of the largest demonstrations since war began nearly 11 months ago. In Jerusalem, thousands gathered outside Netanyahu’s office demanding that his government agree a ceasefire. In Tel Aviv, relatives of the hostages marched with coffins, chanting “Now! Now!”
One of Israel’s most powerful trade unions called for a general strike to start Monday as anger grows about Binyamin Netanyahu’s handling of the hostage crisis after the bodies of six Israelis seized by Hamas were recovered from Gaza.
The head of the Histadrut union, which represents 800,000 workers, said the “entire Israeli economy” would “go on complete strike” from 6am to pressure the government into agreeing a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages.
