Israeli demonstrators have launched a week of protests in Tel Aviv as the Gaza war enters its ninth month. The protests, which have been met with water cannon by Israeli police, are calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down and for new elections to be held. Additionally, demonstrators are demanding the immediate release of captives held in Gaza. The Israeli government’s ban on Al Jazeera broadcasting in the country has not stopped reporting on the protests, with journalist Hamdah Salhut providing coverage from neighboring Jordan. The ongoing demonstrations reflect the mounting pressure on Netanyahu’s government and the growing frustration among the Israeli population regarding the situation in Gaza.
