Relatives and supporters of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have rallied again outside Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Jerusalem, pitching tents and demanding the Israeli government urgently strike a deal to secure their release.

The protest comes as the prime minister faces intense pressure for their return but rejected what he said were Hamas’s conditions for their release, including that Israel end the war and leave the militant group in power.

We are asking our government to listen, to sit down at the negotiating table and decide whether to accept this agreement or any other that would suit Israel.

We are asking the government to play its part, to propose an agreement, to bring it to a successful conclusion and to bring the remaining hostages back alive.
