Left-wing activists rally outside Likud HQ to stop Gaza fighting

Several dozen Israeli activists, mostly from the left, are rallying outside Likud’s Tel Aviv headquarters to stop the bloodshed in Gaza.

Activists holding signs emblazoned with the logos of Peace Now and Meretz call for Israel to “stop the shooting.”

“Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in security, and in order to do so, we must lift the siege on Gaza now and put an end to the terrible distress there, and strive to end the occupation and promote peace between two states living side by side – Israel and Palestine. This is what we must demand from the government now – stop the fire, completely change direction,” the group Standing Together, which organized the rally, said in a press release earlier Sunday.

The Hebrew-language news site Ynet puts the number of protesters at about 250.
