Relatives of people held hostage by Hamas have demanded a nationwide strike. With the strike, they want to pressure the government into an agreement with Hamas to return the hostages.

On Sunday, tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated. Protests were organized, for example, in the capital Tel Aviv, where demonstrators blocked a central highway.
