Antigovernment protesters in Tel Aviv call for Gaza ceasefire

Israeli protesters have taken to the streets on Tel Aviv calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to step down.

In Tel Aviv, where Netanyahu still controls a stable majority in parliament, many protesters waved Israeli flags while others carried signs criticising his handling of pivotal issues such as bringing captives back from Gaza and agreeing to a ceasefire.

The weekly protests have grown more frequent as the war in Gaza rages on.
