Protests have spread across the country demanding the resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Thousands of people are participating in the protests, especially in the capital Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, the police were seen to be on high alert. Demonstrators have vowed to continue protesting until he is ousted, calling the Zionist leader an ‘obstacle to the deal’. But Netanyahu has said he will not resign.
Netanyahu’s political alliance is under heavy pressure from ordinary people and opposition political parties around the attack on Gaza. These protesters also expressed solidarity with the family members of the hostages in Gaza.
Demonstrations on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street called for immediate general elections. A video of the rally shows police officers trying to push back protesters at Begin Gate, the entrance to the city’s Kiriya military headquarters.
A banner held by the protesters read, ‘No one will go! We will march towards Jerusalem and remain there until the government is overthrown.’
It should be noted that the Palestinian armed organization Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on the southern part of Israel on October 7. More than 1200 people were killed in the attack. 242 people were taken hostage. From that day on, the Israeli forces jumped on Gaza in a fierce counter-attack. The occupying country continues to carry out continuous air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of buildings including hospitals, schools, refugee camps, mosques, churches have been damaged or destroyed in this Israeli attack. The entire Gaza Strip has been reduced to rubble by Israeli attacks.
32 thousand 414 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli attack that has been going on for more than five months. And 73 thousand 934 people were injured. Almost all residents of Gaza have become refugees after losing their homes.
Meanwhile, the behavior of the Israeli forces has started to be criticized around the world. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has reiterated the threat of a ground operation in the Egyptian border town of Rafah on Sunday instead of a ceasefire. Where more than 1 million displaced Palestinians have taken shelter from other areas of Gaza in the face of attacks.
