In Israel, citizens dissatisfied with the lack of progress in releasing hostages due to clashes with the Islamic organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip staged violent protests, which resulted in police being called in to quell the protests.
The Israeli military continued to carry out heavy airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on the 24th, and local health authorities say 92 people died in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths in the Gaza Strip to 29,606.
Meanwhile, talks on a cessation of hostages and the release of hostages mediated by the United States, Qatar, and other countries were held in France on the 23rd, and American media reported that the mediating countries presented new proposals, including the number of hostages to be released. However, the details have not been disclosed.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unwilling to accept Hamas's request for a complete ceasefire, and it is unclear whether the negotiations will make any progress.
Against this backdrop, a large-scale demonstration was held in Tel Aviv, Israel's largest commercial city, on the night of the 24th, demanding the early release of the hostages.
Thousands of protesters gathered, holding placards with phrases such as "Bring the hostages home," and calling on Netanyahu's government to negotiate.
Furthermore, some of the demonstrators clashed with police cavalry as they tried to remove police barricades, and the scene was briefly filled with turmoil.
A man whose friend is being held hostage said, ``Progress in the negotiations is too slow. Hostage release cannot be achieved through military operations,'' and strongly appealed to the Netanyahu government to prioritize negotiations.
