SaveThousands rally in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu on eve of Israeli elections
Thousands of protesters took part in a demonstration in Tel Aviv against the cabinet of Benjamin Netanyahu on the eve of the Israeli regime's parliamentary elections, according to Al-Manar. The rally was organized by families of Israeli captives and of those killed during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and participants demanded that regime officials be held accountable for what they described as a failure in the face of the operation.
Opposition leaders also joined the demonstration, including Gadi Eisenkot, described in the report as Netanyahu's main rival in the upcoming vote. The participation of senior opposition figures alongside the families' protest underscores the political dimension of the rally, which took place just before voters head to the polls.
A poll conducted in the occupied territories ahead of the elections indicates that none of the political blocs will secure a majority of parliamentary seats, suggesting a potentially fragmented outcome and prolonged coalition negotiations after the vote.
The demonstration reflects continuing domestic pressure on Netanyahu's government over the handling of the captives issue and the consequences of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The report by Mehr News, citing Al-Manar, added that the rally was held on the eve of the elections and drew thousands of participants.
