Thousands protest in Israel over attack on democracy' by Netanyahu
Briefly

Tens of thousands of Israelis have protested against Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and expressing discontent over perceived assaults on democracy. Triggered by Netanyahu's attempt to dismiss the head of the internal security agency, recent escalations in Gaza exacerbated tensions. Demonstrators accuse the government of using the war for political distractions. With notable assemblies in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, campaigners expect ongoing protests. Noteworthy figures among protesters stress the necessity for organization and persistent resistance to the government's legitimacy crisis, alongside concerns for hostages held by Hamas.
We need to be organised, we need to be persistent. This government has lost all legitimacy on every possible level.
The government has started a war, once again, to protect itself, to divert the discourse from the things that bother the public in Israel.
