Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to bring home the captives from Gaza.
Calls for a Gaza ceasefire are growing louder in Israel.
Three-quarters of a million people came out in major cities on Saturday, demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree to a deal to bring home the remaining captives.
But he remains defiant – insisting the war will continue until Hamas is eliminated.
So, what will it take for Netanyahu to sign an agreement? And could pressure from Israel’s allies, including the United States, make a difference?
