Protesters call for hostage deal in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
Jon DonnisonReporting from Jerusalem

In Jerusalem tonight, as in Tel Aviv, there have been more mass protests from Israelis calling for a ceasefire and a hostage release deal in Gaza.
The families of some of those who are still being held, as well as those who’ve been killed, were invited to address the crowd. “Bring them home," they chanted, waving placards bearing the faces of hostages.
Those demonstrating are furious at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and believe he is putting his own political ambitions ahead of the lives of Israeli hostages.
A year ago, Israel was united in its revulsion at what Hamas did on 7 October.
Twelve months on, its public, politicians and military are very much divided over the strategy in Gaza.
