Global News - Inquirer.net on MSNMass rally in Tel Aviv calls for end to Gaza war, hostage deal
Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered on Sunday evening in Tel Aviv to call for an end to the war in Gaza and the release of hostages, one of the largest demonstrations in Israel since the start of the fighting in October 2023.
Hamas has long called for a comprehensive deal but says it will only release the remaining hostages in return for the release of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. The group has refused to lay down its arms, as Israel has demanded.
Mothers of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, including one who appeared emaciated in a recent Hamas video, voiced fears on Tuesday that a planned Israeli offensive could further endanger their sons' lives due to the risk of reprisals.
Awsat's report is based on sources from the terrorist groups. Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, are considering a plan to transfer hostages to Gaza City in order to deter the IDF's planned offensive and occupation of the area,
