Weekly protests urge Netanyahu to strike hostage deal, without phased release
2024-12-22
The few thousand-person remnant devoted to forcing a reactionary socialist government into power showing their true, antigovernment colours.
[IsraelTimes] Hostage families and their supporters held two separate, thousands-strong protests in Tel Aviv on Saturday, with smaller groups also demonstrating across Israel, to demand the government close a hostage-ceasefire deal to free their loved ones from captivity in the Gazoo

On Saturday, the Wall Street Journal published an interview in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his long-standing position that he would not end the war in Gaza, sparked by Hamas

Conflicting reports have emerged in recent days about Hamas’s willingness to release some hostages in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, without a guaranteed end to the war; so far, the terror group has refused to do so, leaving talks stalled, as Israel has refused any deal that would leave the Paleostinian terror group in control of Gaza.

Speaking at the Begin Road entrance to the IDF headquarters, Yifat Calderon, cousin of hostage Ofer Calderon and a prominent anti-government activist, slammed Netanyahu’s comment to the US newspaper.

Shay Mozes, nephew of hostage Gadi Mozes, said that even if a deal is reached, protests must continue to ensure "the government of Israel doesn’t find an excuse to scrap an agreement."
If the protests won’t stop, why should the government bother trying to make the protesters happy?
He said the government "pounced on the opportunity" to resume hostilities after last November’s weeklong truce, which saw 105 civilian hostages freed in exchange for a temporary ceasefire and the release of hundreds of Paleostinian security prisoners.

"Hamas said it would stop releasing women and kiddies and continue releasing elderly and slain hostages," Mozes said, adding that the government preferred to "teach Hamas a lesson, thus abandoning the chance to save lives."

A block away, at the Hostage Families Forum’s weekly rally at the so-called Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, speakers reiterated the Forum’s opposition to a deal that wouldn’t release all the hostages at once.

Protests in support of a hostage deal were also held Saturday night in Jerusalem, Ra’anana, Beersheba, Carmei Gat, Modi’in, and various other locales and intersections across the country.

speech that drew some heckles from disenchanted audience members.

Protests have returned to Kaplan Street in recent weeks to rail against the government’s renewed push to overhaul the judiciary.

A large contingent of Yesh Atid activists was present as well.

A few feet away from the crowd, some two dozen activists held a more stridently left-wing protest, hoisting signs accusing the government of committing genocide in Gaza.


Hundreds protest outside Kishon prison in support of suspects jailed for firing flares at PM’s home

[IsraelTimes] Hundreds of people are demonstrating outside the Kishon prison in northern Israel in support of the four suspects accused of launching flares at the Caesarea home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month who are being held inside.

The protesters are calling for their immediate release.
No.
On Thursday, the prosecution asked the Haifa Magistrate’s Court to keep the suspects behind bars until the end of legal proceedings against them. The judge is slated to reach a decision next week.
