Intense protests against Netanyahu

 

Israeli citizens are staging widespread protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for resuming hostilities in the Gaza Strip, disregarding the possibility of a prisoner exchange through a ceasefire. Since last Tuesday, thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets, calling for the reinstatement of the ceasefire agreement and the rescue of remaining hostages from Gaza.

International media, including the AFP from Tel Aviv, have extensively covered this issue.

According to reports, on Wednesday, Israeli protesters demonstrated outside the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem.

Protesters expressed their opposition to Prime Minister Netanyahu prioritizing his personal political interests over the welfare of Israel. They stated that Netanyahu has placed the lives of Israeli hostages in jeopardy.

Israeli demonstrators blocked a major highway leading to Jerusalem, holding a large banner that read, "Netanyahu's government or the future of Israel must be saved."

The protests began following Netanyahu's orders for the Israeli forces to launch renewed attacks on Gaza starting at midnight on Monday, just one day after the escalation. In the recent Israeli aggression, over a thousand Palestinians have been killed, including more than two hundred women and children.
