Israeli reservists speak out against Gaza war as pressure on Netanyahu grows

On September 7, 2024, tens of thousands of Israeli demonstrators gathered in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and nearby areas, urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to reach an agreement with Hamas that would lead to the release of hostages detained in Gaza.
The protests followed the recovery of six captives' bodies and the collapse of a ceasefire on March 18, 2024, amid Netanyahu's insistence on a military solution and rejection of Hamas's prisoner exchange demands.
Protesters, including reservists, blocked roads causing clashes and arrests, while critics and military reservists publicly challenged the government's approach and urged prioritizing hostage negotiations.
A group of 1,000 reservists from the air force issued a public statement expressing that prolonging the conflict fails to advance any of its stated objectives, highlighting growing unease and ethical dilemmas surrounding the war’s progress.
Mounting internal pressure signals a potential turning point in Israel’s handling of the Gaza conflict, emphasizing the urgent need to resolve hostage issues amid ongoing military operations and societal divisions.
