Families of people held captive in Gaza protested outside of the home of Benny Gantz, the Israeli defence minister, in Rosh Ha’ayin this morning, according to the Jerusalem Post, Al Jazeera reports.

They demanded that Gantz and the war cabinet save their loved ones by any means, “even if it means stopping the fighting”.

“The lives of our relatives are in daily danger, and the Israeli government has the commitment and ability to save them, before it is too late and there is no one left to save,” they said in a statement.
