Thousands of Israeli protesters blame Netanyahu for Gaza war and 'destruction of Israel'
Protesters gather during an anti-government demonstration outside the defence ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv, calling for early elections, the return of the hostages held captive in the Gaza Strip since the 7 October attacks, and an end to the ongoing conflict in the Palestinian territory between Israel and Hamas.
"Every action that he does is in the direction of the destruction of Israel. He was responsible for what happened on October 7," said retired civil engineer Moshe Sandarovich, 73. After speeches by activists addressing the crowd, protesters shouted"All of them! Now!" to call for a full hostage return, before holding a sombre moment of silence for those left in the Hamas-controlled territory.
Israel's retaliatory bombardments and ground offensive on Gaza have killed 37 347 people, also mostly civilians, according to the territory's health ministry.
