In Israel, Haaretz reports that two people have been arrested after shouting verbal abuse and throwing stones and eggs at a demonstration being held by relatives of those held hostage in Gaza which was attempting to block a highway in Tel Aviv.
During the demonstration Ayala Metzger, the daughter-in-law of hostage Yoram Metzger, criticised the government of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying:
There’s been a tragedy in the state of Israel that can’t be ignored. No one came to help after seven months, no one came to rescue. It’s time to being them home, we will do everything and keep disrupting day-to-day life until they return home.
