Four days of protests demanding the resignation of the government began in Israel. The protesters demand early elections. This was reported by The Times of Israel.
It is noted that the organizers of the protest called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign and the country to hold new elections. They also demanded an agreement on the release of hostages in exchange for the release of 130 prisoners held in the Gaza Strip.
The protests are scheduled to take place in Jerusalem for four days this week. The organizers claim that over 100,000 people took part in the protests, and the media reported tens of thousands of attendees.
The protesters express distrust of Netanyahu and his government, pointing to the need for new elections six months after the Hamas terrorist attack.
"It's unbelievable that this country, which has been so successful... is being led down [this] path by one man and his henchmen," one protester told the source.
Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to journalists' questions about the possibility of elections by saying that it would paralyze the country in the midst of war.
"It would paralyze the negotiations for the release of our hostages and end the war before the goal is fully achieved. The first to welcome this would be Hamas, and that says it all," the prime minister replied.
