Ongoing Israeli bombing in Gaza is jeopardizing the lives of the hostages still held by Hamas, freed captives say. They're among those calling for an end to the fighting.

At least five hostages could be freed from Hamas’ clutches under new cease-fire negotiations, which come as tens of thousands of protestors flooded Israeli streets demanding their return.

CAIRO — The Hamas militant group said Saturday it has accepted a new Gaza ceasefire proposal from mediators Egypt and Qatar, but Israel said it has made a counter-proposal in “full coordination” with the third mediator, the United States.
