Protesters demonstrating against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s lack of progress on peace talks have blocked the main Ayalon Highway in central Tel Aviv, Al Jazeera reports according to Israel’s Channel 12.

They are demanding that a deal is agreed with Hamas to get Israeli captives home, and the holding of early parliamentary elections.

“Israel needs a responsible and sane government that will guarantee a better future for the State of Israel. We must stop the abandonment,” The Times of Israel quoted one protester as saying.
