STORYLINE:
Relatives of Israeli hostages and their supporters gathered for a weekly rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday, marching on a U.S. Embassy branch building for the second week in a row.
The protest comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday his government was considering “alternative options” to ceasefire talks.
"The partial deals doctrine has turned out to be ineffective," charged Yotam Cohen, brother of hostage Nimrod Cohen.
"One deal, a comprehensive one to release all hostages, and end the war. That is the only so-called alternative way to get all of our hostages, amongst them my brother, home alive and safe," he said.
A Hamas official, meanwhile, said negotiations were expected to resume next week and described the recall of the Israeli and U.S. delegations as a pressure tactic.
Egypt and Qatar, which mediate the talks alongside the United States, called the pause only temporary and said talks would resume.
They did not say when.
