Iran Press/ West Asia: Netanyahu was asked at a press briefing about calls within his own ruling Likud party to hold early elections right when the Gaza war ends.
Thousands marched through Tel Aviv, holding yellow ribbons and photos of hostages, then blocked the Begin intersection near the Israeli army Kirya headquarters before the main rally was held at Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square.
The families bound themselves in chains while walking along the route, representing the suffering of their loved ones in the Gaza Strip, and unfurled a 40-meter-long flag counting the days since the war’s outset.
In an interview earlier, Danny Elgarat, whose brother Itzik is held captive in Gaza, said Netanyahu did not want a deal and one would not be made as long he is in power.
Elgarat also said he believed that the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh would distance any possible agreement. “We are all naïve,” he told Ynet news website, “To take out into account that the death of Haniyeh would result in the execution of hostages,” he said.
