Demonstrators are gathering outside the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, calling for early elections and for the government to be ousted.

Many attendees are wearing shirts calling for the immediate dismissal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the release of hostages, as well as shirts identified with various protest groups from the anti-judicial overhaul demonstrations that occurred weekly prior to October 7.

In addition to the main podium, a group of IDF veterans who fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War are standing on a separate stage nearby, making speeches calling for Netanyahu’s removal.

The police have barricaded Kaplan Street’s Democracy Square, close to where the protest is being held, to prevent demonstrators from coming down and blocking the Ayalon Highway, as they did last week.
