Huge crowds gather in Israel calling for hostage deal and end to Gaza war

Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square" to demand the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas and an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The protesters, waving Israeli flags and holding signs, called for their government to prioritize negotiations and a diplomatic solution over continued military action. The demonstration comes amid heightened tensions and a continued exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. Both sides have faced international pressure to broker a ceasefire and return to the negotiation table. The protesters urged their leaders to secure the release of the remaining hostages and work towards a lasting peace agreement that would end the cycle of violence. The rally underscored the public's desire for a peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict, even as the military operations continue.
