Israeli police clash with and arrest protesters as they block the Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv to call for a deal to release the hostages in Gaza Strip. The demonstration was organised in support of a strike called by Israel's largest labour union to pressure the government into reaching a deal to free the hostages. "We want this government to cease to exist, we want elections. And first and foremost, we want them to sign an agreement to release the hostages and cease this war," says one protester.
