Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv, calling for an end to the Gaza war and pressing for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
The demonstration drew support from families of hostages and citizens opposing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the war. Protesters blew whistles, waved flags, and chanted against Netanyahu, while some held photos of Palestinian children killed by Israeli airstrikes and shelling.
Since the collapse of a January ceasefire on March 18, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,900 Palestinians — many of them civilians — and displaced hundreds of thousands, according to Gaza health authorities.
Efforts by Arab mediators Qatar and Egypt, backed by the United States, have so far failed to resolve disputes between the two sides.
Protesters urged the Israeli government to end the conflict, arguing that de-escalation would help secure the release of those still held captive in Gaza.
