A huge demonstration was organized on Saturday evening at Paris Square in Jerusalem, by the “Guardians of the Common House” movement and the committee of hostage families.
The nephew of a hostage directly challenged Benjamin Netanyahu in these terms: “You have sacrificed the State, the army, and the hostages who die in the Hamas tunnels that you yourself financed, all for your obsession with power. The blood of our hostages will be on your hands for eternity. »
Another hostage son appealed to leaders: “I am speaking to the prime minister, ministers and cabinet members – put an end to this long nightmare. Take my father and the hundred other hostages home, some for recovery, others for burial. We have lived in fear for 407 days and nights. » Former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon denounced a “prime minister who acts fraudulently against the declared policy of his government and against the will of the people, destroying Israeli resilience. » He called his leadership “toxic” and called for his removal by non-violent means. Reserve Maj. Yaya Fink, one of the protest leaders, criticized members of the government who have not completed military service, accusing them of trying to pass “desertion laws” in the middle of war.
One of the organizers concluded by accusing the government of “tearing the people apart again” after the October 7 disaster, by pursuing undemocratic reforms and seeking to control all aspects of Israeli society. The demonstration illustrates the growing tension between the Netanyahu government and part of the Israeli population, particularly the families of hostages who accuse the authorities of not doing enough to obtain the release of their loved ones.
