Protests erupted outside the Israeli Parliament as citizens express growing frustration over Prime Minister Netanyahu's perceived undermining of democracy and renewed military actions in Gaza. Tensions intensified after the collapse of a cease-fire deal with Hamas, following aerial attacks on Gaza. Critics argue that Netanyahu's focus on political survival threatens national solidarity and security, particularly ahead of an impending budget vote. The call for protests was sparked by concerns over government plans to diminish oversight powers, highlighting an increasing rift within Israeli society over leadership priorities and national unity.
Protesters are gathering to denounce Netanyahu's actions that threaten Israeli democracy and to demand a renewed cease-fire in Gaza for hostage release.
The protests reflect a growing discontent over Netanyahu's domestic policies and the perception that his actions are prioritizing political survival over national interests.
Yair Lapid emphasized the need for true national unity against the government's current trajectory, stating, "The only solution is unity, not silent, submissive, or fake unity..."
Demonstrators halted traffic in Jerusalem, reminiscent of earlier protests against plans to limit judicial power in a country grappling with both internal and external challenges.
