Tel Aviv (AFP) – Thousands of demonstrators rallied in Israel on Saturday to demand that the government secure the release of 49 hostages still held in Gaza, AFP reporters saw.

It was the first rally by hostages' relatives since Israel agreed a ceasefire with Iran on June 24 after a 12-day war, raising hopes that the truce would lend momentum to efforts to end the Gaza conflict and bring the hostages home.

Emergency restrictions in place during the war with Iran had prevented the normally weekly rally from taking place.

"The war with Iran ended in an agreement. The war in Gaza must end the same way -- with a deal that brings everyone home," said the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the main body representing the relatives, in a statement to mark the rally.

Some demonstrators called on US President Donald Trump to help secure a ceasefire in Gaza that would see the captives freed, hailing his backing for Israel in the conflict with Iran.

"President Trump, end the crisis in Gaza. Nobel is waiting," read one placard, in reference to a possible peace prize for the US leader.

"I call on Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump," one released hostage, Liri Albag, said at the rally.

"You made brave decisions on Iran. Now make the brave decision to end the war in Gaza and bring them home."
