text:  In Israel, protesters blocked highways across the country today, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again to step down and also calling for a ceasefire to bring back the remaining hostages held by Hamas. It's been nine months since the war between Israel and Hamas started in Gaza. After Hamas militants attacked a music festival in Israel, kidnapping more than 200 people, Israel says 1,200 people died in that attack. The protest today comes as talks on a ceasefire continue.
