Storyline:
Nearly 50,000 Israelis took to the streets in West Jerusalem on Sunday, urging their government to sign a ceasefire deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Sunday also marks the six-month duration since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on Oct 7, 2023.

The protesters expressed hope that Israeli hostages will be brought back home early and safely and that Gaza people will resume normal life.

As a result of ongoing Israeli attacks, the Palestinian death toll has risen to 33,175, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced Sunday.

According to data published by the Israeli army, a total of 604 soldiers have been killed since the start of the war, including 256 since the onset of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip, and 41 were killed in accidental incidents during the battles.

Although Israel and Hamas have resumed negotiations for a ceasefire deal, significant gaps still exist, and more than 100 Israeli hostages are currently held in Gaza by Hamas and other militant groups.

"First of all, I want people to live in peace here, you know. That's the number one thing to have and this is taking a while. It's not an easy thing to do. In the meanwhile, it's first and foremost the return of our civilians, the return of all Israelis.";
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel, protester (partially overlaid with shot 4) (full name not given):
"For me the hostages, plus also the atrocities in Gaza, the whole region, the hatred is everywhere and there's so many Gaza children dead and soldiers of us are dying, and tens of thousands of innocent Gaza people. Everything is going worse and worse and worse, just more and more war, more and more hatred. [I hope] that the hostages come back home, that the Gaza people which are refugees, and that's so many, will start to go back to normal life, which will take a lot of time.";
