Thousands Protest Gaza War in Israel

Published On: April 01, 2024 - Reminiscent of the large-scale street demonstrations in Jerusalem last year, tens of thousands of Israelis protested against Benjamin Netanyahu's government and the exemptions from military duty given to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men on Sunday. Protest organizations planned the demonstration in front of the Knesset, the parliament, demanding fresh elections to unseat the current administration. Regarding the security lapse that occurred during the Hamas raid on southern Israel, which claimed 1,200 lives and kidnapped over 250 more to Gaza, Netanyahu's government has come under heavy fire.
