Nationwide protests and strikes have swept across Israel, with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathering to demand an end to the ongoing war in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas. Major rallies in Tel Aviv saw immense crowds calling for a hostage deal, reflecting the escalating anger among Israelis over the situation. Prominent figures, including Gal Gadot, joined protesters as sentiments against the government intensified, with demonstrators expressing that they feel ignored by leadership. Despite a heavy police presence and reports of arrests, the movement shows no signs of waning, as calls continue for a ceasefire and negotiations for the captives. Leaders such as Prime Minister Netanyahu face mounting pressure, as protesters insist that their demands are not being addressed.
