Dozens of anti-war protesters begin 3-day march from Tel Aviv to Gaza border

A few dozen anti-war protesters set out on a three-day march from Tel Aviv to the Gaza border, demanding a hostage deal and an end to fighting in the Strip.

The procession is the latest in a long string of days-long protest marches staged by Israeli activists in recent years.

Hostage families and anti-government protesters have on a number of occasions made the trek from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, usually culminating in a mass demonstration near the Knesset and other government buildings.

Despite scant numbers, organizers say they anticipate the march will swell to tens of thousands of participants in the coming days, particularly as protesters near the border. Several relatives of hostages are expected to join in the procession.

On Friday, anti-war protesters will stage a “White March” near the Gaza border led by a large coalition of left-wing organizations, says a spokesman for organizing group Standing Together.

אנשים מתאספים! עוד רגע נצא לצעדה לכיוון עזה! חם היום, אבל אי אפשר יותר לשבת מהצד. חייבים לקום ולעשות משהו! בדיוק בגלל זה אנחנו צועדים למקום שהממשלה לא רוצה שנראה, שהיא מטביעה בדם כדי לשרוד בשלטון. אנחנו מסרבים לתת להם לקחת לנו את העתיד!
