Israeli people took to the streets demanding Netanyahu's resignation

Six months into the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, no decision has been taken on the release of hostages or a ceasefire. So far 32 thousand people have lost their lives in Gaza. In such a situation, the people of Israel are now losing patience. Thousands of people in Israel's capital Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have taken to the streets against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and are blaming him for the worsening situation. People on the streets are demanding the resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu and elections in a short time.

More than 130 Israeli hostages are said to still be held by Hamas. The relatives of the hostages are also among those protesting. However, negotiations continue between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire and the release of the hostages. Talks are underway between the two sides in the Egyptian capital Cairo, attempting to reach an agreement on a temporary ceasefire and the release of hostages. According to Israel, Hamas holds 134 people in Gaza, including some foreign nationals.

16 protesters were arrested

Late Saturday night, police said they were trying to maintain law and order. The protesters have blocked the roads. Police also said that there were some clashes between the protesters and police officers and some incidents of fire also took place. Tel Aviv police said Sunday morning that the demonstration had ended and that at least 16 people had been arrested. The police have imposed a fine of US$270 on the protesters. The protesters say that it is because of Benjamin Netanyahu that no deal is being made with Hamas and that is why their relatives are not coming back.

Netanyahu accused of not taking decisions due to political reasons

According to a report, the protesters said that the international community also wants the release of the hostages, but Netanyahu does not want it. Due to political selfishness they are not able to take proper decisions. Hundreds of people demonstrated against Netanyahu in Jerusalem also. It is noteworthy that Israeli officials say that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar does not stand for this reason; On the other hand, Hamas blames Israel for this.
