Jerusalem, 21 June 2024 – Massive protests erupted in Israel on Thursday (June 20), with demonstrators gathering in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence to demand early elections. The protests were marked by anti-government slogans and widespread criticism of Netanyahu's war policy.
Protesters called for immediate elections, expressing their dissatisfaction with the current government. They demanded that Prime Minister Netanyahu step down from his position.
Demonstrators voiced strong opposition to Netanyahu's handling of the ongoing conflict, particularly his war policy in Gaza. The protests have been fueled by public frustration over the government's failure to ensure the security of Israeli citizens.
A significant demand from the protesters was for the government to reach an agreement with Hamas to secure the release of hostages. This issue has been a major point of contention since the start of the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
Since the beginning of the Israeli invasion of Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu has faced growing discontent from the Israeli public. The protests reflect widespread anger over the government's perceived inability to protect its citizens and the handling of the hostage situation. As the streets fill with demands for change, the pressure on Netanyahu's administration continues to escalate.
