Mass Protests in Israel Demand End to Gaza War, Hostage Deal. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis rallied on Sunday to demand an end to the Gaza war and a deal to free hostages still held by Hamas. The largest gathering filled Tel Aviv's Hostages Square, where families of captives accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government of turning a "just war into a pointless war." Organisers said Israel's plan to seize Gaza City threatens the lives of about 20 hostages still in captivity. A one-day national strike shut roads, offices, and universities, while police arrested nearly 40 protesters. Netanyahu condemned the demonstrations, warning they could embolden Hamas, while far-right ministers branded the movement harmful. The protests come as Israel's war cabinet pushes ahead with plans to occupy Gaza City, displacing residents amid relentless bombardment. The UN warns nearly 90% of Gaza's population has already been forced from their homes, with famine conditions worsening.
