Anti-government protesters are gathering for weekly nationwide rallies, with an emphasis on a call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to announce a deal to free hostages held by Hamas in Gaza before he travels to the United States later this week to address Congress.
In Tel Aviv, a crowd is gathering on Kaplan Street at the weekly anti-government rally, calling for immediate elections and a deal to release the hostages.
A performance art exhibit at the demonstration mocks the prime minister’s reported comments from a cabinet meeting when he said the hostages are “suffering, but not dead.”
In northern Israel, protesters are blocking the Karkur Junction, with calls to “Stop the War,” bring hostages home, and hold early elections.
