"TEL AVIV — Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Israel for a second consecutive night Sunday, demanding immediate elections and urging the government to negotiate the release of over 100 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
The protests combined two distinct movements — one involving hostage families and the other led by civil society and the political opposition — posing a significant challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government.
On Sunday, protesters moved from “Hostage Square” plaza in Tel Aviv to the parliament in Jerusalem, waving Israeli flags and calling for Netanyahu’s removal. Netanyahu, in a prime-time address, expressed sympathy for the hostages' families and defended his efforts to secure their release.
However, protesters insisted on immediate elections, which Netanyahu argued would paralyze Israel during a critical time in the conflict.
The demonstrations mark the beginning of a four-day rally aiming to pressure the government to act on hostage negotiations or lead to the collapse of Netanyahu’s coalition.
The protests come amidst growing international pressure, particularly from the United States, Israel's main ally, which has expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and urged Israel to hold new elections.
Netanyahu, who has been largely supported by the Israeli public throughout the conflict, now faces increasing criticism and calls for change.
The families of the hostages, who have received little official information about their loved ones, have lost trust in the government's handling of the situation.
Many have joined the anti-government protests, viewing Netanyahu as an obstacle to the hostages' release.
The demonstrations, reminiscent of earlier protests against government policies, highlight a growing discontent with Netanyahu's leadership. Protesters demand clarity on government objectives and criticize its handling of the hostage crisis.
Despite ongoing negotiations with Hamas, families fear that time is running out for the hostages. Former captives have shared harrowing testimonies of abuse and the deteriorating conditions faced by those still in captivity.
As the protests continue, the pressure on Netanyahu and his government is mounting, raising questions about the future of Israeli leadership and the handling of the hostage crisis."
