Anti-government protesters, including family members of hostages held by terror groups in Gaza, have gathered outside the home of National Unity chair Benny Gantz, calling on him to leave the government.
Protesters stand behind a large banner saying, “Israel needs leadership,” along with placards calling for the government to be replaced.
Chants can also be heard among the crowd calling for the release of over 100 hostages held in Gaza since October 7, with signs reading “If there’s no [hostage] deal, leave the government.”
Gantz and his National Unity party joined an emergency war government in the days following October 7, with the aim of achieving a broader, more representative government amid the aftermath of the Hamas massacre and the ensuing outbreak of the war in Gaza.
