Mass protests against Netanyahu government again fill streets of Tel Aviv
Thousands of Israelis have again taken to the streets of the Israeli city, putting pressure on the government of Prime Minister Netanyahu to strike a deal with Hamas that will see the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.
These protests have been occurring every weekend for months, with demonstrators also calling for early elections to replace Netanyahu.
Today, a large banner was carried by some members of the crowd, pleading with US President Joe Biden to “save” the captives from Netanyahu by exerting pressure on him to accept a ceasefire deal.
馃挜"Biden, save them from Netanyahu!" Huge banner in Tel Aviv.
