Video. WATCH: Protesters in Jerusalem demand 'hostage deal'

Updated:

Hamas-led militants took about 250 captives when they crossed from Gaza into Israel on 7 October.

Thousands of Israelis rallied outside the parliament in Jerusalem on Sunday to call for a “hostage deal."

The protest was organized by the families of the hostages to mark six months to the day since they were captured by Hamas.

Anti-government protests have swelled and anger is mounting over what some see as government inaction to help free about 130 remaining hostages, of whom about a quarter Israel says are dead.
