Thousands of people gathered to protest outside the Kirya's Begin Gate in Tel Aviv, calling for the return of all hostages. Yotam Cohen, whose brother Nimrod has been held captive in Gaza for 638 days, said in his speech: "If we are to believe the reports from the last week, we are just days away from a deal - a bad deal, a failed and humiliating deal. Such a partial deal contradicts Israel's national and security interests - it allows Hamas to recover, leaves our brothers in hell and endangers our soldiers. We need one comprehensive agreement, that's the only solution."
