Israeli protesters march towards Jerusalem, demand captives release
A group of Israeli protesters is marching towards Jerusalem as part of a three-day demonstration to pressure the Israeli government to sign a deal for the release of the remaining Israeli captives held in Gaza. They are expected to reach the city tomorrow.
Ceasefire negotiations resumed last week with US, Israeli, Qatari and Egyptian officials shuttling between Egypt and Qatar to find an agreement.
Yesterday, Hamas accused Israel of “stalling to buy time to foil the current round of negotiations”, while White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said there are “still miles to go before we close – if we are able to close” a deal.
Chances to seal a deal remain slim as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that he would not sign any agreement that did not allow Israel to achieve its war’s goals, including the destruction of Hamas.
