The families of Israeli captives took to the streets of occupied Palestine today, urging the Israeli government to reach a deal with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza that would ensure the release of Israeli captives.

According to Israeli Channel 12, women from the captives' families gathered around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in al-Quds and raised pictures of their family members.

The Israeli settlers also shut down the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv in both directions amid their protests. 

The families had previously threatened that they would escalate their protests in the upcoming stage as "Israel" has failed to reach a captives' exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance during these times labeled as "decisive" amid Israeli discussions and another round of mediated negotiations. 

It confirmed what was reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz which mentioned that any failure to reach a captives' exchange deal will be due to political considerations.

It was Blinken's turn 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, while in his Tel Aviv residence, was surrounded by protesting families who were demanding that an exchange deal be reached on May 1.

The families vowed to intensify their protests in the coming phase, citing the occupation government's inability to finalize an exchange agreement during this crucial juncture amid ongoing deliberations and negotiations facilitated by intermediaries.

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, if a deal is not reached, it would be due to Israeli officials' self-serving political interests.

The families clarified that the escalatory steps would involve imposing a siege on Israeli decision-makers. They affirmed that they would impose a "million-man besiegement of the Knesset" and the Ministry of Security, noting that no officials would enter or exit except by helicopters.

They also stressed that they "will remain in public spaces without returning to their homes," the newspaper said.

For many weeks now, Israelis have been flooding the streets of Tel Aviv and several other areas, demanding that Netanyahu resign over his performance in the war on Gaza, including his continued dismissal of an exchange deal.
