"Massive Rallies in Israel Demand Netanyahu's Resignation Amid Gaza Conflict"

Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied to demand Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation and urge hostage release negotiations with Hamas, as Israel carried out airstrikes in eastern Lebanon in response to a drone being shot down by Hezbollah. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a "humanitarian pause" in Gaza and a "long-term cease-fire," while Israeli President Isaac Herzog described the ongoing conflict as a "bloody and difficult war." The protests come six months after Hamas's attack on southern Israel, which triggered the current conflict, and amid ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
