Israelis have packed central Jerusalem in the largest anti-government protest since the country went to war in October.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have thronged central Jerusalem in the largest anti-government protest since the country went to war in October.
Nearly six months of conflict have renewed divisions over the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though the country remains largely in favour of the war. Roughly half the hostages in Gaza were released during a week-long ceasefire in November but attempts by international mediators to bring home the remaining hostages have failed. Talks resumed on Sunday with no signs that a breakthrough was imminent.
Mr Liat was released but Aviv was killed, and his body is in Gaza. “Netanyahu is only working in his private interests,” he said. Opinion polls show Mr Netanyahu and his coalition trailing far behind their rivals if elections were held today. The crowd on Sunday stretched for blocks around the Knesset, or parliament building, and organisers vowed to continue the demonstration for several days.
