2024 Israeli protests
Israeli anti-government protests / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 Israeli protests are a series of protests,[1] civil unrest[2] and riots[3] against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration, primarily sparked by the ongoing war on Gaza, pressuring Netanyahu to ceasefire and accept an hostage deal.[4] These protests began sporadically at the onset of the war and have significantly grown in size and intensity, culminating in massive gatherings across various Israeli cities.[5]
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Israel–Hamas war protests in Israel. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2024. |

Israel also experienced anti-war protests, and anti-humanitarian aid protests, although they were smaller in scale.[6][7]
Many in the protests are left-leaning, and are against the escalation of the war, calling for a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange.[8] Many are saying Netanyahu is "intentionally sabotaging hostage deals", for his own political survival.[9]
