The police suppress protests, and Netanyahu believes that killing Hamas leaders will end the war.

Israeli media reported clashes between Israeli police and protesters in Bnei Brak east of Tel Aviv, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that killing Hamas leaders would end the war in Gaza.

Hundreds of Israelis demonstrated in several locations against the government, demanding the completion of a deal to return all "hostages" and end the war in Gaza.

In Haifa, protesters raised slogans accusing Netanyahu of endangering Israel.

For their part, the families of the captives, in their weekly press conference in Tel Aviv, said that Netanyahu seeks to sacrifice the "hostages" and soldiers for political purposes, accusing him of turning the war into an "eternal war" and expanding military operations in Gaza.

The families criticized Israel's bombing of Hamas leaders in Doha during negotiations for the exchange deal, describing it as a "gamble" with the lives of the "hostages."

On Saturday, the families of Israeli captives protested on Begin Road, near the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, and Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the relatives of Israeli captives renewed their demand for U.S. President Donald Trump to pressure Netanyahu to finalize a deal that would lead to the release of their loved ones and stop the war in Gaza.

The newspaper quoted Omri Levshitz, son of released captive Oded Levshitz, stating that Netanyahu is doing everything possible to sabotage any agreement, and whenever there is an opportunity to reach an agreement and end this war, he ensures to blow it up.

This time, he literally blew up the negotiations, referring to the Israeli attack on Qatar.

For her part, Einav Tsangauker, mother of captive Matan Tsangauker, said that only public pressure will force Netanyahu to reach a comprehensive agreement for the release of the "kidnapped," according to Yedioth Ahronoth.

She added: Netanyahu threatens our state and sends soldiers into death traps for his political future, condemning us to an eternal war.

The opposition repeatedly asserts that Netanyahu is working to prolong the war in Gaza and refuses ceasefire proposals to serve his political interests, particularly his continued hold on power, responding to the most extreme right wing in his government that opposes ending the war.

On September 3, the Israeli army launched an aggression named Gideon 2 to completely occupy the city of Gaza (north), which sparked criticism and protests in Israel, fearing for the lives of the captives and soldiers.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, many of whom have died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Targeting Hamas leaders in the meantime, Netanyahu stated on Saturday that "getting rid" of Hamas leaders would lead to ending the war in Gaza as the displacement movement from the northern sector continued with the occupation army intensifying its attacks.

Netanyahu accused Hamas leaders of repeatedly obstructing efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the sector.

He said in a post on X platform, "The terrorist Hamas leaders living in Qatar do not care about the people of Gaza. They have obstructed all attempts for a ceasefire to prolong the war indefinitely."

He added, "Getting rid of them will remove the main obstacle to the release of all our hostages and ending the war."

It is noteworthy that Hamas has repeatedly confirmed its readiness to release Israeli captives all at once, in exchange for ending the genocide war, the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, wanted by international justice, evades by insisting on the continued occupation of Gaza.
