Relatives of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza were arrested during a protest in Tel Aviv as talks on a truce and hostages' release faltered. The protest saw activists using cages to block roads, demanding action for those still held by Hamas. Negotiations, seeking a six-week halt in Israel's Gaza offensive for 40 hostages' release, hit a deadlock. Amid escalating tensions, Israeli officials recalled negotiators from Qatar-mediated talks. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the state's response, urging compassion for hostages' families. The situation underscores the ongoing struggle for peace in the region amidst heightened uncertainty.
