Rallies in support of the families of hostages held in Gaza and against the Israeli government took place this Saturday in Jerusalem. In total, several thousand people gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and several other cities with the aim of stepping up their fight to obtain the release of their loved one.

The Israeli Prime Minister was directly targeted by the crowd because it was Benyamin Netanyahu who prevented the return of the hostages. “We think we need elections now. The government has lost public trust. He is responsible for this war. The polls show it. And we must therefore return to the polls,” said one of the organizers of these demonstrations.
