The Police have charged on horseback against the protesters gathered one more Saturday in Tel Aviv to demand an agreement for the release of the hostages kidnapped by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip. There have also been demonstrations in other Israeli cities.
The agents have charged in the renamed Democracy Square in Tel Aviv, on Kaplan Street, against the protesters who have blocked traffic to demand the release of the hostages and the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The Government has abandoned the hostages. The people will bring them back,” predicted one of the banners displayed at the demonstration while the organizing movement has assured that they have blocked some of the trucks with water cannons to prevent their use, reports the Israeli press.
There have also been anti-government protests in Jerusalem, Raanana, Netanya, Kfar Saba, Harzliya, Nikhron Yaacov and in front of Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea. Opposition leader Yair Lapid has participated in the Tel Aviv protest.
The hostages were kidnapped in the attack by Hamas militias on October 7 in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip. Some 1,200 people died in the attack and the Israeli military retaliation has caused almost 36,000 deaths.
