Massive demonstrations swept through cities including Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds as protesters called for an end to Israel's military operations in Gaza and the swift release of Israeli captives.
In occupied al-Quds, demonstrators gathered at the historic Jaffa Gate in the Old City and marched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence. Although Netanyahu was in the United States attending the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), large crowds still assembled at his official residence to express their frustration.
Protesters said the regime has failed to prioritize the safe return of the captives by prolonging the war in disregard of their safety.
Netanyahu's speech during the general debate of the 80th session of the UNGA on Friday also sparked anger among the demonstrators. They criticized him for not mentioning any possibility of a ceasefire, nor outlining a plan to end the conflict.
