Hundreds of activists took to the streets in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, demanding the signing of a prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement. Protesters blocked the city's main roads to traffic.
The editorial office reports that participants in the demonstration called on the government to accelerate negotiations and ensure the swift release of hostages. They also demanded a halt to the ongoing military operations in the Gaza Strip.
During the protests, police implemented heightened security measures. In recent months, widespread dissatisfaction has been observed in Israeli society regarding the fate of the hostages and the continuation of the Gaza war.
