PREVIEW

As Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, approaches - set to begin at sundown on October 2, 2024 - families and supporters of 101 Israeli hostages held in Gaza breach a security perimeter near Prime Minister Netanyahu's residence to protest. They demand the release and reunification of their loved ones, displaying placards with hostage portraits alongside images of Netanyahu's Security Cabinet labeled Death Cabinet. The protest follows the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, which included a massive rocket barrage and gunmen infiltrating Israel, resulting in the massacre of 1,400 civilians and the abduction of about 240 people, including babies, children, and soldiers. Many protesters hold Netanyahu personally responsible for allegedly hindering negotiations for political and personal reasons.
