Earlier today, protesters blocked the Ayalon main highway in Tel Aviv – urging the government to reach a deal with Hamas to release the hostages held in Gaza.
There are thousands of people here in Tel Aviv joining the mass demonstration, many waving Israeli flags.
Ido, 78, tells me he regularly protests for the release of the hostages but this is the biggest one he has been at in a long time.
“You could hardly get into the train and hardly get out,” he says, adding “it’s huge and we are at the tail end – this is not the main event”.
Two other protesters tell me that the death of the six hostages needs to signal a turning point.
“We want a deal that brings the hostages back home,” Robi, 25, says.
But his friend Rom adds “we don’t trust Netanyahu to make this deal”.
