"Netanyahu's Multi-Front Battle: Pressure Mounts to Free Hostages"

Thousands of protesters, including families of Gaza hostages, marched towards the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the safe return of nearly 240 people kidnapped by Hamas. As Israel's war in Gaza continues, national favor towards Netanyahu and his governing coalition is collapsing, with opposition leader Yair Lapid calling for his resignation. Negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and the US for a pause in fighting and the release of hostages have been challenging. Some families are advocating for an "everyone for everyone deal," exchanging the hostages for all Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. Netanyahu defended his decision to allow fuel tankers into Gaza and invited representatives of the hostages' families to a meeting with his war cabinet.
