Last night, Israeli media reported that thousands of settlers demonstrated in what has become known as the "Hostages Square" in "Tel Aviv", calling for a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance aimed at releasing around 140 Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip.
The protests extended across the Israeli entity to include the occupied city of Haifa, where settlers rallied and carried banners calling for the resignation of the government of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"We hear the unnecessary sounds of war, and we see that everything happening is a waste of time," a spokesperson for the families of the Israeli captives said during the demonstration, as cited by Israeli media.
Another speaker demanded Netanyahu's government bring back the captives from Gaza alive. Meanwhile, the father of one of the Israeli captives raised an hourglass during the demonstration as a warning to Netanyahu's government about running out of time regarding this file.
Voices within the demonstration indicated that Netanyahu's government "does not care" about the Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip, affirming that they in the government "only seek revenge."
