Mass Protests Erupt in Israel Over Hostages
News summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is increasingly worried about massive anti-government protests demanding a ceasefire with Hamas, sparked by the discovery of six hostages' bodies in Gaza. Estimates suggest that up to 700,000 people participated in demonstrations across Israel, with significant numbers gathering in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Protesters are urging Netanyahu to negotiate a deal for the remaining captives, expressing deep frustration over the government's handling of the hostage situation. The Histadrut trade union has called for a nationwide strike, further amplifying public dissent. Netanyahu's concerns are compounded by fears of escalating protests outside cabinet meetings, with some officials suggesting he may only act decisively under pressure from the streets. The growing unrest reflects widespread dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's leadership amid the ongoing conflict.
