Mass protests erupted in Israel as demonstrators called for a ceasefire and hostage deal, accusing Netanyahu of politicizing the Gaza conflict.

Protesters in Israel have taken to the streets, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a hostage deal and a ceasefire in Gaza.

Key highways were blocked, and police made at least 12 arrests amid heated scenes in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Netanyahu’s decision to resume the Gaza war while 59 hostages—around 24 of whom are believed to be alive—remain in captivity has intensified anti-government demonstrations.

Protesters accuse his administration of prolonging the conflict for political reasons.

Anger over Netanyahu’s recent dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar has further fueled the protests.
