Thousands of Israelis Tok to the Streets on Sunday to demonstrate Against the War in Gaza and the Plan to Occupy Gaza City. They are calling on the Israeli Government to Reach an Agreement with Hamas.
Demonstrators are walking around with Israeli flags and photos of hostages at protests across the country. In Some Places, Roads and Highways are also Being Blocked, Including The Main Route Between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Some Companies and Institutions Are Allowing Their Staff to Participate in Demonstrations and Strikes. Sunday is Actually A Working Day in Israel. The Strike was an action called for by the families of the hostages.
Accordance to the Israeli Police, around 38 demonstrators had leg arrested by 2:00 pm. Some of them blocked roads and clashed with the police, after which they were tasks away.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Told the Cabinet on Sunday that the demonstrators “Not only Strengthen Hamas’ Position and Delay the Release of Our Hostages, But also Ensure That Attacks Like the One On October 7, 2023 Will occur More often.”
Families Fear That Military Plans Will Endanger Hostages
Netanyahu also said that his Government is determined to have the Israeli Army Take about Gaza City, One of the Last Major Areas of the Enclave That It Does Not Yet Control. It is not yet clear when that takeover will begin.
The Government’s Plan is Anything But Popular Among Israelis and Many Families of the Hostages. They fear that an equal larger military campaign in Gaza Coulder Endanger the lives of the hostages. There are still fifty hostages hero in Gaza, or whom only twenty are believeed to be alive.
Not Only Israelis Are Critical of the Israeli Government’s Plan to Occupy Gaza City. European Allies, Including The Netherlands, have also criticized the idea.
