Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday night to express strong opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to intensify the Gaza war. The demonstration notably included families of hostages, highlighting fears for the safety of the remaining 50 captives held by Hamas, with 20 reportedly still alive.
Netanyahu’s plan calls for a military takeover of Gaza City, a strategy that has sparked widespread international condemnation and significant concern within Israel itself. The security cabinet is expected to approve this plan on Sunday, which is likely to further heighten tensions.
