Demonstrations were held in Tel Aviv, occupied Quds, Haifa, Beersheba, Rehovot, Ra’anana, and other locales throughout the Occupied Lands, as Qatari- and Egyptian-mediated efforts to secure a deal stalled, with Hamas making demands Israel has rejected, the Times of Israel reported.
At the main rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, protesters marched down Kaplan Street. Police on horses attempted to clear the street and push the demonstrators toward the sides, amid cries of “shame” from the crowd.
At least seven protesters were arrested after some blocked part of the Ayalon Highway heading south and set bonfires ablaze, police said.
Hamas is reported to have demanded a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners serving sentences for deadly attacks, among many other demands related to aid and the reconstruction of Gaza, the Zionist regime media further claimed.
