Israeli military veterans and activists staged a protest installation reading "NOW!" on the beach outside the US embassy branch office in Tel Aviv, calling on President Donald Trump to fulfil his promise to facilitate the release of Israeli captives, Haaretz reported.

The demonstration, organised by reserve soldiers and civil society groups, is part of a campaign that includes open letters signed by more than 150,000 people urging the return of the captives and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
