Families of the Israeli captives are outside the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in West Jerusalem to demand the captives’ exchange with Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, Al Jazeera reports.

“End war. Hostage deal immediately,” and “Hostages won’t survive another winter”, read a few of the banners waved by protesters.

In a statement, organizers of the protest warned that the captives “won’t survive the freezing cold in the tunnels of Gaza”.
