Thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv’s streets, calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation and the release of hostages held by Hamas.
The crowds demanded elections, seeking an end to Netanyahu’s leadership.
Banners bearing slogans like “crime minister” and “stop war” were prominently displayed.
While weekly protests are common in Israel, this Saturday’s gathering was particularly large, with an estimated 150,000 participants.
Protesters criticized Netanyahu’s government for prolonging the conflict and putting the country’s security and hostages at risk.
