Two relatives of Israeli hostages abducted on October 7 were arrested during a protest outside the defense ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv Tuesday evening, according to one of the groups that participated.
Protesters had gathered to voice their anger following media reports that an Israeli delegation holding indirect hostage negotiations with Hamas was leaving the talks in Qatar without a deal. Israeli police in a statement said they cleared the protesters from Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway where they were blocking traffic. Four protesters were arrested for violating order and “endangering the road users,” the police said.
Several groups have been staging anti-government protests outside the defense ministry headquarters, known as the Kirya, since the Hamas attacks. CNN has reached out to the Hostage Families Forum, which represents the captives’ families and has held protests at the site. The Ayalon Highway, a major freeway, was reopened to traffic later in the day after police cleared the protesters.
