Second Report

🕊️ Israel's Large Protest Amid War

Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered in Jerusalem in the most significant demonstration since the onset of conflict in October, pressing for an immediate ceasefire to facilitate the release of hostages held in Gaza and advocating for early elections. The unity initially seen following the tragic events of October 7, where Hamas executed a deadly attack, taking 250 hostages, has given way to renewed divisions concerning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership. Despite Netanyahu's commitment to defeat Hamas and secure the hostages' return, the goals remain unmet, with the release process stalled and public frustration mounting against his administration. 🗣️🇮🇱

TL;DR ⏳: Amidst ongoing conflict, Israel sees its largest protest, demanding a ceasefire for hostages' release and calling for early elections.
