Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been facing strong protests across the country. Protests have begun against a new operation in Gaza, Palestine. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Israel to demand a ceasefire. Important roads in Israel were closed due to the protests. They have expressed their anger against the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. Police have arrested at least 12 people from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
The protesters allege that the government is continuing the war for political reasons. It is not thinking about the fate of the 59 people still held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. It has been reported that 24 of the hostages are alive. News - The Guardian
The protests began on Tuesday over an attempt to fire Ronen Bar, the head of Israel's domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet. But the protests against Netanyahu have intensified after he violated a two-month ceasefire by launching deadly airstrikes in Gaza. Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Israel. They are demonstrating strongly against the government. On Wednesday, thousands of people took to the streets near Netanyahu's official residence in central Jerusalem. Many of them held flags and placards with slogans written in support of those still held hostage in Gaza. People chanted slogans such as "Make a hostage deal now."
According to the protesters, at least 59 Israeli prisoners are still held in Gaza, who were taken hostage by the Palestinian armed group Hamas on October 7, 2023. The protesters believe that the surviving hostages will be killed if Netanyahu breaks the ceasefire agreement and launches a new operation in Gaza. Hamas has handed over most of its prisoners since the ceasefire began. A large section of the country is upset that Netanyahu has resumed the offensive before everyone has returned. A recent opinion poll also showed that a majority of the country wants the government to stop the fighting and hold more talks about returning the hostages.
