Israelis Protest to Demand End of Gaza War and Release of Hostages
On Sunday, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Israel, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and the release of hostages still held by militants. The protests come as the Israeli military prepares a new offensive. The unrest follows a decision by Israel's security cabinet to capture Gaza City after 22 months of conflict that have left Palestinian civilians in dire conditions. The war began in October 2023 when Hamas launched a major attack on Israel, taking 251 people hostage. Forty-nine captives remain in Gaza, with 27 reportedly dead. In Tel Aviv, protesters unfurled a giant Israeli flag featuring portraits of the remaining hostages at Hostage Square, a focal point for demonstrations throughout the war. Demonstrators blocked roads, including the highway connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, setting tires on fire and causing traffic disruptions. Protest organizers and the main campaign group representing the families of hostages called for a general strike on Sunday, leading to many businesses in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv closing. 'I think it's time to end the war, release all the hostages, and help Israel recover,' said Doron Wilfand, a tour guide attending a rally in Jerusalem. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said the protests aim to 'shut down the country today with one clear call: bring back the 50 hostages, end the war.' The group plans to set up a protest tent near the Gaza border, warning that delay could put the hostages' lives at risk. Recent videos from Hamas and Islamic Jihad showing two weak and emaciated captives have raised fears for their safety. Meanwhile, Egypt is mediating talks for a 60-day truce, which could include a hostage release, after previous talks in Qatar failed. Viki Cohen, whose son Nimrod is held in Gaza, addressed him on social media: 'Stay strong, just a little more.' Speaking at a Tel Aviv rally, President Isaac Herzog called for international pressure on Hamas, saying, 'We want them back as soon as possible.'
