Thousands of people, including Christians, gathered outside Downing Street on Sunday for a vigil calling for the release of Israelis who have been held hostage since the Hamas terror attack on Israel on 7 October.

An estimated 240 people were taken hostage on the same day that Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis.

Qatar has been mediating talks between Israel and Hamas to secure their release.
