The anti-government demonstration in Tel Aviv begins with a moment of silence for the victims of October 7 and the war followed by the national anthem.
Chants of “elections now” and “you’re at the head, you’re to blame” begin throughout the protest.
Hadas Eilon Carmi, a survivor of the October 7 massacre from Kfar Aza whose brother, Tal Eilon, was killed while fighting against Hamas terrorists, is the first speaker at the demonstration.
“I blame you, Bibi [Netanyahu] for destroying every value upon which we raised our children,” Eilon Carmi begins her speech. “I blame you, Bibi, for making a whole country bereaved,” she says. “In the place where you planted hate, brotherhood has sprouted.”
