Thousands of people in Israel are participating in demonstrations urging the government to secure a deal for the release of remaining hostages in Gaza. In Tel Aviv, demonstrators gathered at a plaza known as Hostages Square, displaying pictures of the hostages and signs with messages like 'Bring them home now.'
The crowd also celebrated the recent rescue of four hostages from Gaza, expressing gratitude towards the Israeli military for their efforts in securing their release.
Additionally, many protesters are calling for new elections, advocating for the current government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down. Netanyahu is facing mounting domestic political pressure, with the potential resignation of a key member of the country's emergency wartime government looming.
