Recent protests in Israel reflect public outrage against Prime Minister Netanyahu's far-right government, especially following the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Protesters marched in Jerusalem, challenging Netanyahu's leadership as he faces scrutiny over his handling of security matters and renewed military action in Gaza. Bar's dismissal is perceived as linked to his agency's investigation of the government's failures before the October Hamas attacks. Demonstrators call for prioritizing hostage recovery amidst rising casualties in Gaza from new military operations, highlighting a growing discontent with Netanyahu's political strategies and governance.
