Public discontent with the Netanyahu government has escalated after the bodies of six Israeli hostages were found in Gaza
Tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Israeli cities on Sunday, demanding an immediate ceasefire deal with Hamas after the bodies of six hostages were discovered in Gaza tunnels.
Israel’s largest trade union called for a nationwide strike to shut down the “entire Israeli economy” on Monday, with the support of rights groups, to pressure the government to sign a truce and secure the release of the remaining hostages.
Sunday's demonstrations were the largest since Israel launched its war on Hamas in response to the October 7 attack, which left around 1,200 Israelis dead and 200 taken hostage. Organizers described the rally as an “endless sea of protesters,” estimating a crowd of 300,000 people in Tel Aviv and an additional 200,000 in other cities across the country.
