Protests and vigils have been taking place in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv in recent days, with people calling for an end to Israel’s offensive on Gaza and release of the hostages seized by Hamas on October 7.
Anger at the government, and in particular Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is mounting, and deep divisions and tensions in Israeli society are coming to the fore.
Accusing Netanyahu and his far-right coalition of fuelling divisive politics at the cost of weakening Israel’s defence, the protesters were also among the huge crowds who flooded Israel’s streets over judicial reforms, which were intended to give the government unprecedented powers, earlier this year.
The families of the hostages are increasingly struggling to keep hope alive despite Netanyahu's promises to bring the captives back home.
