An Israeli delegation will head to Cairo tomorrow, Sunday, to resume indirect negotiations with the Hamas movement, while a march roamed the streets of Tel Aviv demanding the fall of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and blaming him for the failure to recover prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that a delegation including representatives of Mossad, intelligence, and Shin Bet will leave for Cairo tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss the exchange deal with Hamas.

For its part, the Egyptian Cairo News Channel quoted a security source as saying that truce talks between Hamas and Israel will resume tomorrow, Sunday, in Cairo.

In the same context, a protest march took place in the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday evening demanding early elections.

Al Jazeera's correspondent reported, "Thousands of Israelis are demonstrating in front of the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv and demanding the overthrow of Netanyahu's government."

Families of Israeli prisoners held by the resistance in Gaza since October 7 are participating in the protests.

The families of the Israeli prisoners issued a statement in which they said, "Netanyahu is the main obstacle to seeing our children."

The statement added, "Netanyahu's behavior is a crime, and if we do not do everything to remove him, we will not see our children. From now on, we will demand the ouster of Netanyahu, and we will protest to overthrow him."

Warning and reconnaissance

Earlier, Israeli Channel 12 reported that the police were sending warning messages to the leaders of the protests demanding the ouster of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The past weeks have witnessed Israeli demonstrations demanding Netanyahu's departure from power and early elections to be held.

The protesters hold Netanyahu responsible for failing to confront the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by the Palestinian resistance against the occupation on October 7th.

Israeli segments believe that Netanyahu is obstructing reaching a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas and aims to prolong the war for fear of accountability and the collapse of his political future.

In a related context, an opinion poll published by Channel 13 reported that 51% of Israelis support holding elections this year, and 38% oppose that.

The poll also revealed that 61% of Israelis are pessimistic about achieving the goal of eliminating Hamas, while 24% of them believe that the war will end with the elimination of the movement.
