A wave of large-scale protests has swept across Israel, with thousands gathering in Tel Aviv and other cities to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the return of hostages held by Hamas for over 22 months. Hostage families, activists, and former captives are voicing growing frustration at the Israeli government's failure to secure a comprehensive deal for the hostages' release, as well as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Demonstrators have also criticized the government for prioritizing military objectives over the lives of both Israeli hostages and Palestinian civilians. The collapse of recent ceasefire talks has intensified public anger, leading to clashes with police and calls for international intervention. The protests reflect a deepening sense of helplessness and division within Israeli society over the government's handling of the war and hostage crisis.
