"Mass Protests in Tel Aviv Demand Change: From Hostage Deals to Political Leadership"

Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prompting Israeli police to use water cannons to disperse the crowd. The protesters, calling for new elections, blocked a major highway, leading to arrests and clashes with law enforcement. Netanyahu's government has faced criticism for its handling of various issues, including the judicial system, the Gaza conflict, and military service exemptions for the Haredim community.
