Thousands rallied in Tel Aviv against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the upcoming general election, which is widely seen as a referendum on his leadership. The protest, organized by the October Council, took place three days before the election and saw the participation of leaders from the main opposition parties, including former military chief Gadi Eisenkot.
The October Council, founded by families of victims and hostages from the Hamas attack in October 2023, demanded accountability for the failure to prevent the attack that led to the ongoing Gaza war. The demonstration began at Rabin Square and proceeded towards Hostages Square, a key location for previous anti-government protests aimed at securing the release of hostages captured in Gaza.
Attendee Hadas Feuershtein, 68, expressed deep dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's administration, stating that Israel has never faced such a dire situation as it does now.
