Anti-government protesters rally in cities and towns nationwide for weekly rallies, with activists calling for a state commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023, massacre.
Protesters are marching from Begin Gate, outside the Defense Ministry headquarters, for the main rally in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square.
Demonstrators are also rallying in Haifa, at the northern Karkour Junction, and other areas across the country.
Despite polls consistently showing a substantial majority of Israelis want a state commission of inquiry to be established, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition have rejected attempts to establish one. They say a commission should only be set up after the war is concluded, and reject a state commission appointed by the Supreme Court chief, claiming it would be biased against them.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
