Israeli settlers held protests against the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip and against the Israeli army in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, according to Israeli media.

Among the public figures who participated in the protests was Knesset member Ofer Cassif, who held signs stating that the genocide must stop and the war must be rejected, while protesters chanted slogans against "child killers" and demanded an end to the genocide in Gaza.

In a related incident earlier on Saturday, settlers protested against the occupation's Police Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, during his visit to a synagogue, where a verbal altercation broke out between him and a protester over Ben-Gvir's opposition to a proposed prisoner exchange deal.

One of the protesters confronted Ben-Gvir, calling him a "convicted terrorist" and a "killer of prisoners" while demanding to know how he had worked to obstruct the deal, according to Israeli media reports. The protester, who identified himself as an officer in the 75th Battalion, accused Ben-Gvir of being a military service dodger who had never served a single day in the Israeli army.

'If you were kidnapped, your father would leave you to die'

Other protesters also heckled Ben-Gvir and his son in Tel Aviv, shouting chants shaming the minister for obstructing a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and leaving the captives to die.

“I know very well, he is with you in your unit, he is with you in your unit. You serve with him, and your father is leaving the hostages to die," one of the protesters told Shoval, the son of the Israeli minister, adding, "Look at their faces, if you were kidnapped, your father would leave you to die."

Israeli captive families call on Netanyahu to sign ceasefire deal

The mother of captive Matan Zangauker has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to support the phased ceasefire and captive release agreement that Hamas accepted earlier this week.

“If Netanyahu signs the deal, on Sunday he can already begin negotiating for the return of the rest of the hostages in exchange for ending the war,” Einav Zangauker told the press outside of the Kirya military headquarters in "Israel".

“If the conquest of Gaza begins, there will not be a deal,” Zangauker added, accusing Netanyahu of “placing obstacles [before a deal] and blaming Hamas." 

Meanwhile, Yehuda Cohen, the father of captured soldier Nimrod Cohen, is appealing to US President Donald Trump to put pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to finalize an agreement that would end the war and secure the release of all captives.
