'Stop the war', say Israelis demanding return of Gaza hostages

Hundreds of Israeli protesters in Tel Aviv voiced their frustration with the government on Saturday for failing to secure a truce deal to bring the remaining hostages in Gaza home.Flag-waving demonstrators in the country's commercial hub held placards with slogans including "Deal now", "Stop the war" and "We won't abandon them", and beat drums and chanted: "Why are they still in Gaza?" "There have been countless opportunities to end this crisis and each one was torpedoed by the government," said demonstrator Zahiro Shahar Mor, a 52-year-old bank employee from Tel Aviv.
