Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered in Jerusalem to protest against the government, calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign. The protesters are demanding action to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and are pushing for early elections. The demonstrations come amid renewed divisions over Netanyahu’s leadership following the recent conflict with Hamas. Netanyahu faces criticism for his handling of the hostage situation and is also dealing with corruption charges. The protesters believe that a change in leadership is necessary for the safe return of the hostages and are putting pressure on the government for new elections.
