Israeli media has reported that the families of Israeli captives have barricaded Ayalon Road in "Tel Aviv."
Hundreds gathered outside the museum near "Caesarea's" entrance to protest Netanyahu's policies, particularly those involving Israeli captives.
The Israeli prime minister's office stated this week that discussions around a second potential Israeli captive swap and a temporary pause in hostilities were "constructive", however there a "meaningful gaps" left.
Hundreds of people participated in a demonstration against the government in occupied Haifa and other demonstrations took place in "Kfar Saba" and "Rehovot" settlements.
A new organization for mothers whose children were drafted into the war on Gaza called for elections and hung banners on bridges that read: "Netanyahu is killing us."
In occupied Al-Quds, Israeli protesters took to the streets for the 4th consecutive week demanding immediate elections.
Last Saturday, Israeli Wallah! news reported that dozens of Israelis, including families of Israeli captives, protested outside Netanyahu's home in occupied Qisarya, urging him not to "miss an opportunity" to bring back the captives.
According to Israeli army radio, settlers blocked traffic and confronted the police while calling for urgent elections and the removal of Netanyahu as they protested in "Rehovot" and "Tel Aviv."
Last week, 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.
In late January, over 40 former Israeli national security officials, celebrated scientists, and prominent business leaders have called on the occupation's President to forcibly remove Benjamin Netanyahu from office for being an "existential" threat to the country.
In a letter to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, the officials hold Netanyahu "primarily responsible" for "creating the circumstances" and fragmentation within "Israel" that led to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, including his right-wing cabinet and various policies.
The letter touched on how leaders of Iran and the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance saw a destabilized "Israel" and utilized this weakness to fight the occupation.
Haim Tomer, a Mossad officer who signed, told CNN that the occupation was now being led by "idiots", detailing that “everybody understands that Netanyahu is incompetent to lead Israel."
