Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of Israel Air Force reserve and retired pilots are set to hold a rally this evening in front of IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv to demand an end to the war.
A statement on behalf of the reservists says the 7 p.m. demonstration will “call for an immediate end to the futile war and urgent action to bring the hostages home.”
“We support the [IDF] chief of staff’s opposition to the war’s expansion and support for an urgent deal to return the hostages,” they add, arguing the war is “exacting an unbearable toll from hostages who have languished in captivity for 676 days, is risking our soldiers’ lives in vain, is causing unnecessary harm to innumerable innocent civilians, and is degrading Israel’s standing in the world to an unprecedented low.”
