Protests have erupted in Israel, with thousands demanding the release of hostages in Gaza and an end to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's term. The protests took place in several cities, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, and Beersheba, and included public calls for Netanyahu to resign. Hostages' families accused Netanyahu's government of indifference and a lack of leadership. The protests have also seen a shift from nonpartisan to political, as participants express a lack of confidence in the government's commitment to its citizens. Furthermore, protesters have blocked traffic to draw attention to their demands for more government action in saving their loved ones held captive in Gaza.
