Israelis Organize Nationwide Protest to End Gaza War and Reclaim Hostages

About this video

A national day of action is underway in Israel to demand the release of the captives still held in Gaza.
Schools, businesses and public transport have been shut down, with demonstrations planned in major cities.
Protesters want a ceasefire in Gaza and a deal with Hamas.
But the mass action is not about ending Palestinian suffering.
The fear is that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push to seize Gaza City will risk more Israeli lives – those of the remaining captives as well as Israeli troops.
