News Topical, Digital Desk : Thousands of Israeli citizens held nationwide demonstrations against the Netanyahu government to end the Gaza war and release hostages held by Hamas. During this, roads were blocked and businesses were shut down. To put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, people demanded an immediate compromise with Hamas.
Police used water cannon to disperse the crowd and detained about 38 protesters. Two groups in Israel held a day-long nationwide protest on Sunday. These groups represent the families of the hostages.
20 expected to be alive
The protesters fear that the lives of the hostages may be in danger if Israel intensifies its attacks. They hope that the hostages held by Hamas are still alive. Israel believes that 20 hostages are alive in Hamas' custody. During the demonstration, the protesters also had pictures of the hostages in their hands.
Responding to the protests, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that those who are insisting on ending the war without defeating Hamas do not understand that this will strengthen Hamas and it will become difficult to free the hostages. This can endanger the security of the country. Also, the incident of October 7 will keep repeating itself again and again.
17 more killed in Gaza
17 Palestinian civilians were killed in Israel's latest attack in Gaza on Sunday. All of them had gathered to get humanitarian aid. Israeli tanks fired at the people gathered near the Morag corridor from a distance of 100 meters. People said that we either wait to die of hunger or risk being shot. We have no other option.
