Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Stop the execution of captives, Israeli families demand” – below is their description.
There’s certainly a pressure cooker on Netanyahu at the moment.
Dozens camped outside his home north of Tel Aviv last night. We reached out to the families of captives and those in solidarity there – they said they’re not moving and are waiting for Netanyahu to come out and speak to them. They say he’s dragging his feet on getting captives released.
The father of one of the captives is on a hunger strike, and they released a very strong statement that says they demand that Israel stop the execution of hostages.
There have been weeks of protests, particularly in Tel Aviv from tens of thousands of people. Many have switched from just calling for the release of captives to demanding a ceasefire in order to release them.
Many inside the Netanyahu cabinet who were handpicked by him are also saying you cannot defeat Hamas militarily in a short amount of time, you need to focus on the captives.
