In recent days, demonstrations against Netanyahu and his government’s policies have accelerated in Israel. In the October terrorist attack, the terrorist organization Hamas, operating from the Gaza Strip, took about 250 Israelis hostage. The protesters demanded that Netanyahu bring the hostages home.
One way to do this could be a cease-fire agreement that would end Israel’s eleven-month hostilities in Gaza. As a result, more than 40,000 people have been killed.
