Relatives of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have held a protest outside the home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, expressing frustration over his government’s seeming lack of progress in securing the release of more than 100 captives.

A group representing families of the hostages said they had “begged for 105 days” and are now urging the government to show leadership and take bold steps to free the hostages as the war against Hamas drags on.
