Tel Aviv protesters say Israel's government responsible for captives' fate
There are about 58 captives still held in Gaza, 34 of whom the Israeli military says are dead.
Family members of the captives and those supporting them rallied, with tensions rising between them and police in Tel Aviv on Saturday.
Demonstrators condemned the government's decision to return to war, and held aloft pictures of their family members in captivity. They said they were holding the Israeli government responsible for their lives.
Saturday's protest comes as Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, released a video titled, Time is Running Out, purporting to show an Israeli captive in Gaza calling on the government to secure his release, the second such video shared by the group within days.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum campaign group identified the man as Elkana Bohbot, who was taken captive from the site of a music festival in southern Israel during Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack that led to Israel's latest campaign against Gaza.
The footage lasts more than three minutes, showing Bohbot speaking in Hebrew and pleading for his freedom.

Why has Washington sanctioned the Palestinian leadership?
US accuses Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority of undermining prospects for peace. The Trump administration has sanctioned members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA), accusing them of undermining peace efforts. The move comes as more Western governments are openly criticising Israel, calling on the country to end the war on Gaza and move towards a two-state solution. More countries have also announced their intention to recognise Palestinian statehood under certain conditions, including the disarmament of Hamas and PA reform. So what's behind the US sanctions? Are they a bargaining chip to further peace talks, or a sign of more hurdles ahead?

Slovenia becomes first EU country to impose arms embargo on Israel
Slovenia has become the first country in the European Union to ban all weapons trade with Israel over its war on Gaza. The announcement comes two weeks after the Central European nation declared Israeli ministers persona non grata, the state news agency STA reported. The arms embargo was announced by Prime Minister Robert Golob after a government session on Thursday. 'Slovenia is the first European country to ban the import, export and transit of weapons to and from Israel,' the government said in a statement. It said it was moving ahead 'independently' because the EU was 'unable to adopt concrete measures … due to internal disagreements and disunity'. Amid the devastating war in Gaza, where 'people … are dying because humanitarian aid is systematically denied them', it was the 'duty of every responsible state to take action, even if it means taking a step ahead of others', the statement said. It added that the government had not issued any permits for the export of military weapons and equipment to Israel since October 2023 because of the conflict. Early in July, Slovenia – also in an EU first – banned two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country. It declared both Israelis 'persona non grata', accusing them of inciting 'extreme violence and serious violations of the human rights of Palestinians' with 'their genocidal statements'. In June 2024, Slovenia's parliament passed a decree recognising Palestinian statehood, following in the steps of Ireland, Norway and Spain, in moves partly spurred by condemnation of Israel's bombing of Gaza. Last week, France, the United Kingdom and Canada also announced they may recognise a Palestinian state. Israel decried these announcements, saying they were a way of rewarding Hamas for its October 7, 2023 assault on Israeli territory. Israel has been waging a nearly 22-month war in Gaza that human rights groups and United Nations experts have compared to a genocide. More than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military campaign, with more at risk of dying from hunger as a result of Israel's blockade of the territory. Several countries, including South Africa, have also brought cases before the International Court of Justice alleging that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The United States, however, has been an unwavering ally of Israel throughout its war in Gaza, and President Donald Trump has also warned that recognition of Palestinian statehood would serve as a 'reward' to Hamas.
