Tens of thousands of people gathered in different parts of the country in Israel to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. Accusing him of leaving Israeli captives alone, the crowd called for Netanyahu’s dismissal, early elections and an agreement to release the hostages held by Hamas. Seven people were detained at the protest in Tel Aviv.
“We must understand that the terms of the agreement have not changed and there will be no agreement before the end of the war. If the government does not reach an agreement, Israel will eventually have to end the war without the hostages being returned,” said one protester in Tel Aviv.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that 37 prisoners have died so far.
