Thousands of people in Israel took to the streets and demanded Netanyahu's resignation

Mass events are held in Israel. The multi-thousand event will begin on Sunday, March 31. This was reported by The Times of Israel. The participants of the action demand the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the holding of early elections. One of the main demands of the protesters is to reach an agreement on the release of 130 hostages held in the Gaza Strip. They accuse the government of blocking negotiations on the release of the hostages. It is reported that the actions will last for four days.
According to the Israeli press, this protest is the largest since the attack of Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023. According to preliminary information, more than 100,000 people are participating in the action.
Demonstrators on Sunday evening blocked a main city highway, after earlier rallying in front of the Israeli parliament, lighting fires and waving the national flag. Police used water cannon against the crowd, and jostled and pushed protesters back as they shouted that Netanyahu “must go”.
Pressure has been growing on the prime minister as opponents of his right-wing government have found common cause with the families of the hundred or more captives still held by the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza.
The families have pledged to take to the streets every night this week as they call for the government to bring them home.
Many protesters carried placards of Netanyahu’s face covered in blood, accusing him of failing to protect the country from Hamas. Even before Israel’s war on Gaza, Netanyahu had faced months of street protests over controversial judicial reforms
