Massive Protests Erupt in Tel Aviv as Thousands Demand Accountability from Netanyahu's Government

According to SAEDNEWS, On Saturday, thousands of demonstrators once again took to the streets of Tel Aviv to voice their opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The mass demonstration took place on Kaplan Street in central Tel Aviv, with protesters calling for a negotiated agreement with Hamas to secure the release of imprisoned Israelis.

Families of Israeli captives were at the forefront of the protests, expressing their frustration over what they perceive as Netanyahu’s inaction and delay in negotiations. They emphasized that the ongoing talks in Doha represent a critical “last chance” to bring their children home.

“We believe the majority of Israelis, security institutions, and even Americans support a prisoner swap agreement,” the families conveyed, arguing that a hardliner minority is obstructing progress.

In a related development, Isaac Herzog, the head of the Israeli regime, addressed the crowd, stating, “I have called for the removal of hard-liner right-wing ministers from the cabinet.” His comments reflect the growing tensions within the Israeli political landscape as public pressure mounts for a more proactive approach to the ongoing crisis.
