Thousands march with Israeli hostage families in protest

Thousands of Israelis have concluded a four-day march to Jerusalem demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza. Marchers carried Israeli flags and hostage posters, starting the four-day march from a site hit in the October 7 attack by Hamas. Negotiators were set to resume ceasefire talks in Cairo on March 3. Their journey culminated in a rally at the Israeli Prime Minister's residence, with calls for their release. US President Joe Biden expressed hope for a ceasefire by the start of Ramadan on March 10. Currently, 134 hostages are still held in Gaza, including soldiers, civilians, and children, according to Israel. A peace deal could result in the release of dozens of hostages.
