protests

Huge protests outside the Knesset on Sunday called for elections. A protest leader told 103FM that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu built Hamas.

Anti-government protests will continue in Jerusalem on Tuesday for a third day since demonstrations in the capital began on Sunday.

The daughter of one of the hostages being held in Gaza expressed opposition to mixing other issues into the families' protests.

While tensions soar between Israel and Iran in the wake of the Gaza war and ensuing proxy battles across the Middle East, voices from within the Islamic regime call to support Israel.

Protests in Tel Aviv turned violent, with clashes, road blockages, and police using sound-wave systems by accident.

As many families of the Gaza hostages have sharpened their tone on the government and protested against the government's inaction, a bereaved father speaks out against their actions.

"Abu Ubaida, our beloved," chanted the crowd led by Within Our Lifetime (WOL) organizer Abdullah Akl. "Strike, Strike Tel Aviv."

Yair Lapid, the leader of Israel’s parliamentary opposition, spoke at the Jerusalem rally and decried the government for being irresponsible and ineffective.

"This is not a protest, it is a struggle. We are fighting to get them back, and we will not remain silent," said Danny Elgarat, the brother of Gaza hostage Itzhak Elgarat.

Both protests stand powerful on their own, but when the hostage and anti-Netanyahu protests mix, the message becomes muddled.
