Israelis rally against Netanyahu’s gov’t, call for deal to release captives
Hundreds of Israeli protesters have gathered in Tel Aviv demanding a deal to release all captives held in Gaza, and against Netanyahu’s government.
Many waved the Israeli flag and chanted as they called for a Hamas-Israel deal to be finalised.
Protesters criticised the government’s handling of the war in Gaza and the increasing tension with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Egypt, the US and Qatar have scheduled a new round of ceasefire negotiations for August 15, as fears grow of a broader conflict involving Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.

Jordan says it will not be a battlefield
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has said that the country would not be a battlefield for any party, adding that Jordan will not allow the violation of its airspace.
Safadi’s comments come at a time when Iran and Hezbollah are expected to retaliate for the assassinations of two leading figures: Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran, and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
