Israelis Continue Protests to Demand Gov’t Prioritize Release of Hostages

HeadlineJan 25, 2024

In Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelis shut down a major highway Wednesday demanding their government reach an immediate deal to return the over 130 hostages still held in Gaza. The protest was led by a number of women’s groups and the families of Israeli hostages.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Israeli protesters have gathered at the Kerem Shalom crossing for a second day in a row in an attempt to block a convoy of humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza. The protesters are demanding no aid for Gaza until all of the hostages are released.
