Thousands of protesters in Tel Aviv demand an end to the war on Gaza.

Thousands of Israelis demonstrated yesterday evening in Tel Aviv, demanding an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and to reach a prisoner exchange deal, just two days before the scheduled meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.

During their gathering in what is known as the Hostages Square, the protesters raised a large banner that read, "All hostages, bring them home now."

Leishai Miran Lavi, the wife of Omri Miran who is still held in Gaza, stated, "The only thing that can prevent slipping into the abyss is a complete and comprehensive agreement that ends the war and brings all hostages and soldiers back home."

Addressing the U.S. president directly, she urged him to use "his influence over Prime Minister Netanyahu," emphasizing that "prolonging this war will only expose Omri and the other hostages to greater danger."

For his part, Ronen Ohail, whose brother is still held in Gaza, called on Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire agreement, saying, "No messages, no statements, no delays. There is an opportunity now, there is time for you to choose to be a leader."

In the same context, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir warned his ally Netanyahu against reaching an agreement, stating in a post on X platform, "Mr. Prime Minister, you do not have a mandate to end the war without a complete defeat of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)."

In a notable development regarding the negotiation process, The Washington Post revealed today new details about the U.S. president's proposal to end the genocide and starvation in Gaza, stating that it calls for an immediate halt to all military operations in the sector.

Trump indicated yesterday that there are "good intentions" to reach an agreement in Gaza more than ever, affirming that "everyone is eager to get past this difficult period, and it is an honor for me to be part of these negotiations regarding Gaza."
