The protesters were demanding the release of all hostages held in Gaza, calling for new elections and also calling for Benjamin Netanyahu to resign. It came shortly after Benny Gantz, a popular centrist member of Israels three-member war cabinet, threatened to resign from the government if it does not adopt a new plan in three weeks time for the war in Gaza, a decision that would leave Prime Minister Netanyahu more reliant on far-right allies.
