Protesters against the Israeli government and hostages’ families gathered to call on Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the hostages back and “close the deal” [de reféns] on Saturday night (7) in Tel Aviv.
Several protesters were taken away by security forces while others gathered around a large bonfire, holding signs and waving Israeli flags.
Mass protests gripped Israel on Sunday (8) local time following the killing of six hostages in Gaza, as frustration grows over the country’s leadership’s failure to secure a ceasefire deal.
Eleven months after the war began, several rounds of diplomacy have so far failed to secure a ceasefire agreement to end the conflict and secure the release of Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza.
The latest conflict was triggered on October 7, when the Islamist militant group Hamas killed 1,200 people in a cross-border attack and seized about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel’s subsequent assault on the enclave killed more than 40,900 Palestinians, according to the local health ministry, and displaced nearly the entire population of 2.3 million, causing a famine and prompting allegations of genocide at the World Court, which Israel denies.
