On Monday, a group of 20 Israeli settler protesters stormed the Knesset Finance Committee meeting in occupied al-Quds amid growing outrage over Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to agree to take on a deal on a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives. The settlers demanded action from occupation lawmakers to assist in releasing their family members being held as captives.

A settler held up pictures of three family members, saying, “Just one I’d like to get back alive, one out of three!,” while others held up signs reading: “You will not sit here while they die there,” chanting: “Release them now, now, now!”

Netanyahu's residence was also surrounded by a group of settler protesters calling on the head of the occupation to work for the release of Israeli captives.

On Sunday, Netanyahu described the deal of freeing the captives as "surrender", holding further onto his stance of refusing the deal with the Palestinian Resistance.

Out of the 253 captives, "Israel" claims Hamas captured during Operation al-Aqsa Flood, they also believe 132 are still in Gaza, of whom 104 are "thought to be alive."

Israeli occupation forces are responsible for the death of their own in "Hamas custody," according to a growing number of reports.

On Friday, the mother of an Israeli soldier who was a war prisoner said the occupation forces gassed her son to death while he was being held in a tunnel in Gaza following what Hamas stated in mid-January about two of the hostages being killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza. 

Netanyahu is in big trouble

According to Israeli media yesterday, "The opposition withdrew two proposals to depose the government that were submitted to the Knesset," claiming that "it would not practice politics during the war as the government is currently busy.”

However, the Yesh Atid party told the Israeli Kan TV that if the budget is not amended, it would again submit a motion for a no-confidence vote and bring down the occupation government.

Israeli Channel 12 revealed that the Israeli Labor Party will submit a similar proposal from "the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," stressing its inability to "recover prisoners held by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza."

Since October 7, more settlers are calling for Netanyahu’s removal, because he was "unable to achieve the two goals of the war on the Gaza Strip, namely eliminating the Hamas movement and releasing Israeli prisoners."
