Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters rallied across Israel, with central Tel Aviv's Habima Square becoming the epicenter of a nationwide outcry. Demonstrators demanded a swift deal with Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza and to bring an end to the devastating war. The weekly protests—now growing in volume and urgency—reflect rising frustration with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s failure to return captives and prevent further bloodshed.
Protesters waved signs, lit torches, and chanted slogans condemning the ongoing conflict, accusing the government of prioritizing political survival over human lives. The rallies, echoed in junctions and cities nationwide, mark a tipping point in public opinion, with families of the hostages leading the charge. Calls for accountability, peace negotiations, and immediate action to end the war are intensifying.
