- Protesters Demand Hostage Release, Netanyahu and Government Removal
Anti-government and anti-war protesters gathered in several regions in Israel on Saturday to express their anger and dissatisfaction with Netanyahu’s government and its handling of the Gaza hostage crisis, demanding Netanyahu’s swift departure.
Hundreds of Israelis are participating in a demonstration calling for early elections in Haifa, Israel, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet.
The protestors carried signs with the words, “Save the kidnapped” and “Elections now”, referring to hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, the outlet said.
Others gathered near the Weizmann Institute of Science in the Israeli city of Rehovot to protest against PM Netanyahu, according to the same source.

Shortly before, a protest began in central Tel Aviv urging expedited negotiations for the release of captives in Gaza.
In Caesarea hundreds of demonstrators are calling for the resignation of Netanyahu and the dissolution of the current government. The demonstration is being held in the Ralli Museum Square, with the participation of residents who were evacuated from the Gaza border and relocated to Kibbutz Sdot Yam near the area.
Yosef Angel, father of 17-year-old Ofir Angel, who was released from captivity in Gaza called on the Israeli Prime Minister to step down. "You stand at the head and are responsible for the October 7 holocaust. You are trying to escape responsibility and look for someone else to blame, shame on you. Go and let those more responsible than you lead us, the people of Israel deserve much more. Every day increases the danger to the safety of the hostages. They must be returned now."
