"Mass Protests in Tel Aviv Demand Netanyahu's Action on Hamas Hostages"
Thousands of antigovernment protesters filled a central Tel Aviv street, expressing anger toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government, marking the largest show of discontent in months. The protests, which had paused after the Israel-Hamas war, have gained momentum, with calls for an immediate election and criticism of the government's handling of national interests. The demonstrations are separate from the public debate over the hostages captured by Hamas, with demands for their release also being voiced regularly.
