Hadas Kalderon: “I’m here to demonstrate and ask my government and all the governments in the whole world, please, please, do sign the deal. Sign, Netanyahu, deal. Just do it. Bring them back home, to their children, to their parents, to their families. We are all broken and tired, and we want to make end to this tragedy.”
