In Israel, over 300 vehicles formed a convoy organized by the Forum for the Families of the Hostages and Missing, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas that includes a prisoner exchange. The convoy, which started in Tel Aviv, is headed toward the Gaza border, with vehicles displaying Israeli flags, yellow banners, and photos of the prisoners. The protesters, aiming to make their plea heard, will use loudspeakers at the border and tow a damaged vehicle from the October 7 incidents as part of their demonstration. The forum emphasized the urgency, stating, “The opportunity to bring everyone back is disappearing every day.”
Student-led protesters in Serbia have blockaded state broadcasters RTS and RTV, demanding management overhaul or complete shutdown due to alleged biased reporting. Tents were set up outside buildings in Belgrade and Novi Sad, blocking entry and disrupting broadcasts. RTS called the blockade illegal, while RTV’s head labeled it “terrorism.”
The protests follow a deadly building collapse in Novi Sad that killed 15 people in November 2024. Despite government reshuffles and resignations, demonstrations persist. President Aleksandar Vucic dismissed the unrest as a failed “color revolution.”
