Israel: Large demonstrations against Netanyahu government continue. They are setting up tents in front of the Knesset to protest every day until the end of the week.
Israeli media speak of the largest demonstration since the war began on October 7th. The demonstrators briefly blocked a highway, built bonfires and lit flares. The police fired water cannons to break up the demonstrators' road blockades. Netanyahu had firmly rejected criticism of his conduct of negotiations and calls for a new election. A new election would paralyze the country at the height of the war.
