Demonstrators advocating for the release of hostages gathered in Jerusalem, marching towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence to express their discontent with the Gaza City takeover plan.
Max Kresch, a former soldier, joined the march holding a sign that read “I refused”.
Speaking to the BBC’s Emir Nader, Kresch stated, “We represent over 350 soldiers who served during the war and are refusing to continue serving in what we see as Netanyahu’s political war.”
Protests also took place in other Israeli cities, including Haifa. Thousands assembled in Tel Aviv as well.
Israel’s decision to escalate its military operations in Gaza has drawn condemnation from the United Nations and several nations, including the UK, France, and Canada. Germany has responded by suspending military exports to Israel.
The plan, sanctioned by the Israeli security cabinet, outlines five “principles” for ending the conflict: the disarmament of Hamas, the return of all hostages, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, the establishment of Israeli security control over the territory, and the creation of “an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.”
