Al Jazeera English reported that thousands of demonstrators gathered in Israel to demand an Eisenkot‑Arab agreement that would remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power. The rally was organized by groups opposed to Netanyahu’s leadership and called for a new political arrangement.
In a separate counter‑demonstration, supporters of the prime minister took to the streets, insisting that Israel should not be governed by "terrorists". The opposing protesters warned against any coalition that would include parties they described in that way.
Both protests highlighted the stark split in public opinion over the country’s political future.
Why it matters
The demonstrations illustrate deep divisions in Israeli society about the current government and potential coalition arrangements.
