Thousands of Israelis protested on Saturday, demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accept a ceasefire agreement with Hamas that would see the remaining Israeli hostages brought home from Gaza.
At a rally in Tel Aviv, relatives and supporters of the more than 130 hostages still in captivity said everything possible must be done to bring them home.
"I'm here today to support a deal now, yesterday," said Natalie Eldor. "We need to bring them back. We need to bring all the hostages back, the live ones, the dead ones. We got to switch this government. This has got to end."
The protests were held ahead of the Yom HaShoah Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls this year on 6 May.
