“Israel has become a pariah state across the world, among all nations and in the West. After more than 600 days [of war], a majority among both peoples says: ‘If only those days had never happened,'” Odeh told the crowd. “It’s a historic loss to the right-wing ideology that was crushed in Gaza. Gaza won, and Gaza will win.”
According to Haaretz,
…which for some reason prides itself on being the New York Times of Israel…
about 2,000 people attended the left-wing rally, including representatives from 20 peace organizations.Or in real numbers, probably somewhere between 200 and 1000. And thus we have achieved the entire point of posting this article.
“The [Benjamin] Netanyahu government has normalized the war, and we will normalize the opposition to it,” he continued. “This demonstration marks a turning point in the struggle to end the war, both in the number of participants …ie. not many….
and in the sharpened political messages.”…ie. stupid.
Odeh also addressed the weekly anti-government protesters calling for a hostage-ceasefire deal.Rallies call for hostage deal as Israel, Hamas continue to wrangle over terms

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...delivered its response to a US-backed proposal that Israel has agreed to in principle.
The terror group was seeking changes to the latest American offer, making it unlikely that an agreement between the sides would be imminent.
Earlier in the day, the Kibbutz Movement led a tractor convoy to Tel Aviv to mark the holiday of Shavuot — a festival closely tied to agricultural communities — while calling for the return of the 58 hostages still in the Strip. The convoy ended at Hostages Square outside the Tel Aviv Museum. The movement was deeply impacted by the October 7 attack, in which many kibbutz residents were killed and kidnapped.
The main rally began at 8 p.m. at Hostages Square, organized by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, where relatives of captives and others addressed the crowd. Speakers included Yaniv Yaakov, the brother of Yair Yakaov who was killed on October 7 and whose body is still held by Hamas; Lishay Miran-Lavi, wife of hostage Omri Miran; Rivka Bohbot, wife of hostage Elkana Bohbot; Sharon Alony Cunio, a survivor of Hamas captivity and wife of hostage David Cunio; Alon Nimrodi, father of hostage Tamir Nimrodi; Yehuda Cohen, father of hostage Nimrod Cohen; Shimon Buskila, father of Yarden Buskila who was murdered at the Nova music festival; and Lior Simcha, secretary general of the Kibbutz Movement.
Similar demonstrations were held in Jerusalem, Haifa, Beersheba, Herzliya, and other cities around the country.
The protests come amid renewed diplomatic efforts to secure a hostage release agreement, and days after rallies around the country marked 600 days of captivity for the hostages.
