Thousands of protesters in Tel Aviv demanded a ceasefire and freedom for the hostages

Thousands of Israelis protested to demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accept a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
At the rally in Tel Aviv, relatives and supporters of more than 130 hostages demanded that the government do everything possible to return the captives, Haaretz reported.
The protests took place ahead of Yom Hashoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day, which this year falls on May 6. The war in Gaza is nearing the end of its seventh month amid mounting international pressure for an end to the fighting.
Over 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed on October 7 in the Hamas attack.
In response, Israel launched a devastating offensive in the Gaza Strip, destroying large parts of the enclave. About 34,000 people died, according to the Palestinian health authorities./BGNES
