The demonstration in Jerusalem saw protesters accusing the government of Benjamin Netanyahu of fuelling in security through prolonged conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Marchers chanted slogans, held signs demanding an end to the war, and called for political change, with some former soldiers reportedly refusing service in protest. The rally is part of a broader wave of unrest across Israel, driven by criticism of the government’s handling of security, military strategy and the aftermath of the October 7 attacks, as well as demands for new elections and greater accountability.

Footage from the city shows locals walking through Jerusalem’s historic alleyways as news spread that all hostages alive or deceased would be returned and humanitarian aid would be allowed into Gaza under the terms of the deal.

“We're very happy to hear that. It's about time. After two years, we want our people back. But we're not sure it's real yet. When we see them physically here, we’ll be very happy,” said Oran, a Jerusalem resident.

Oran also praised former U.S. President Donald Trump ’s role in mediating the deal, calling for him to be recognised internationally.
