Protesters are calling for early elections
Thousands of Israeli protesters took to the streets on Saturday demanding early elections and demanding more government action to free the hostages.
The protests continue as the war in Gaza enters its seventh month and amid growing anger over the government’s approach to the 133 Israeli hostages still held by the Islamist group Hamas.
