More than 15,000 people protested in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Sunday, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strike a deal with Hamas for the release of hostages still held in Gaza. Families of the 48 hostages, including 20 believed alive, led the rallies with emotional appeals. Protesters warned that expanding the war would endanger their loved ones. Netanyahu insists only “total victory” over Hamas will free them. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes continued in Gaza, killing at least 87 in 24 hours, according to local officials. The UN says the death toll has crossed 64,000, deepening the humanitarian crisis. (PC: BBC)
