Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under pressure to bring Gaza captives home.
Calls for a ceasefire in Gaza are growing louder in Israel.
Three-quarters of a million people took to the streets in major cities on Saturday to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree to a deal to return the remaining captives home.
But he remains defiant, insisting the war will continue until Hamas is eliminated.
So what will it take for Netanyahu to sign a deal? Could pressure from Israel's allies, including the United States, have any influence?
