Israelis Protest Outside Knesset to Call for Hostage Deal
---------------------------------------------------------

In Jerusalem, hundreds of protesters rallied outside Israel's Knesset on
Monday to demand a Gaza ceasefire deal and an exchange of hostages.
Israeli police arrested nine of the protesters as they nonviolently
blocked a road near the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Shraga Tichover: "It's solidarity with the hostages. We want our prime
minister to make a deal, to cut a deal. We want the war to stop. We want
the stop of killing and everything. We want, you know, a sane country.
That's it. We want to live. I'm 55 years old. I have four kids. I'm
doing this for my kids."
