Thousands Rally in Tel Aviv Against Netanyahu Ahead of Vote
Thousands marched in support of a state inquiry and hostage release as opposition leaders joined the rally and warned of political provocations before the vote.
- On Saturday, thousands gathered at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to demand an independent commission of inquiry into the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack's security failures.
- The October Council organized the rally after years of campaigning, as Netanyahu's government has consistently refused to establish an independent body to investigate state-level security failings.
- Instead of an independent inquiry, the government offered a "political" commission with half of members appointed by the ruling coalition and half by opposition lawmakers.
- Leading rival Gadi Eisenkot sarcastically labeled the proposed digital currency "bbCoin," while Yair Lapid accused Netanyahu of promising citizens they will "stand in line for bread like in Russia or Iran."
- Recent polls show neither bloc holds a majority before the election, and first-time voter Naama Bitterman expressed confidence the anti-Netanyahu bloc could improve Israel's international standing, tarnished by three years of war.
