Thousands of people took to the streets in Israel on Saturday (August 24) demanding elections. People accused the Netanyahu government of failing to save the hostages. During this, the protesters also demanded Prime Minister Netanyahu to bring back the hostages and make a ceasefire agreement. According to The Times of Israel, the families of the hostages killed in the war accused Netanyahu during a demonstration in Tel Aviv that he could have saved them if he wanted. The Israeli army recovered the bodies of 6 hostages from Gaza on Tuesday (August 20). This demonstration was led by their families. During the demonstrations, three protesters were detained in Jerusalem. The protesters said – If Netanyahu does not make a peace agreement, the wishes of the radical leaders will be fulfilled. The protesters also accused Netanyahu of failing to make a peace agreement with Hamas. Dikman, the brother of a hostage, said, “If Netanyahu cannot reach a peace deal, he will fulfill the wishes of Hamas-Israel’s hardline leaders Yahya Sinwar and Ben Gvir.” At the same time, opposition leader Yair Lapid said that instead of sending a team for ceasefire, the Prime Minister himself should go to Cairo for talks. In fact, talks were held between Hamas, Egypt, Qatar and the US in Cairo on Saturday to stop the war between Israel and Hamas. However, Lebanon’s Hezbollah-supported Al Mayadeen News news agency said that no solution was found from the talks in Cairo. The report claimed that Hamas has said that Israel will have to withdraw its troops from the Philadelphi Corridor. Earlier, an Israeli team also went to Cairo for talks on Thursday and Friday.
