Anti-government groups and hostages’ families are readying to set up a tent city for four days outside the Knesset to demand a deal to free their loved ones, and new elections.
The four-day protest will see nightly rallies in the capital.
Tonight at 6:15 p.m., protesters will begin a march from Givat Ram to the Knesset, ahead of a 7 p.m. demonstration.
Speakers will include: Opposition Leader Yair Lapid; Shirel Hogeg, whose family members were wounded on October 7 at Kibbutz Kfar Aza; Sigalit Hillel, whose son Uri Tchernihovski was murdered at the Nova party; Yaakov Godo, whose son Tom was murdered at Kissufim; Rabbi Benny Lau; protest leader Moshe Radman; and Dina Zilber, a former deputy attorney general.
Last night, tens of thousands of people turned out for mass protests nationwide, as the weekly demonstrations in Tel Aviv by the hostages’ families took a dramatic turn when speakers called on attendees to “take to the streets” and join the anti-government protesters in the heart of the city, announcing an apparent discontinuation of the separate gathering.
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.
