War cabinet minister Benny Gantz has called for calm in response to recent 'violent' protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. The protests, which took place near Netanyahu's Jerusalem residence, saw some demonstrators breaching security barriers, leading to several arrests as reported by Israeli media.
Gantz emphasized the importance of rejecting violence from any party and following police instructions. He stressed the unity of the nation as crucial for the country's future stability.
While most protesters were law-abiding, a group attempted to reach the prime minister's residence, resulting in their arrest by the police. The demonstrations, which have been a regular occurrence in Tel Aviv, shifted to Jerusalem this week ahead of the Knesset's recess.
The protesters are demanding new elections and urging the government to take more action to secure the release of remaining hostages. The move to Jerusalem signifies a heightened level of discontent and a desire for change among the demonstrators.
