Demonstrators stage 'river of blood' outside of Netanyahu's home

Approximately 300 people participated in a demonstration outside the Netanyahu family home on Aza Street in Jerusalem. They called on the government to take concrete actions that would bring back Israelis kidnapped by Hamas.

During the protest, participants mixed red paint with water and poured it onto the road to create a symbolic "river of blood." This gesture aimed to highlight the government's responsibility for the deaths of the hostages in captivity.

The families insist on a deal with Hamas to secure the release of the abducted individuals, even if it means putting an end to the conflict in Gaza and withdrawing troops. Protesters are emphatic that the exchange with Hamas should happen without delay.

The headquarters of the abducted individuals' families issued a statement clarifying that the "rivers of blood" demonstration is a private initiative, and the headquarters is not associated with this action.

Notably, the day before, demonstrators set up protest tents on Aza Street. Despite the chilly weather, several protesters spent the entire night in the tent city.
