Israeli protesters carry mock coffins in call for release of Gaza hostages

Israeli protesters carried mock coffins in a call for the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The protesters demanded that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government make a deal with Hamas to secure the release of the remaining hostages or else it should resign. On 7 October 2023, more than 250 Israelis were kidnapped into Gaza by Hamas in a surprise terror attack.
