Anti-war demonstrators and families of Israeli hostages protests for ceasefire in Gaza

Anti-war demonstrators and the families of Israeli hostages held protests in Tel Aviv, the capital city of Israel, to demand a ceasefire in Gaza following the truce between Israel and Iran.

Rallygoers urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seize a “historic window of opportunity” to bring remaining hostages home.

Many protesters also made direct appeals to US President Donald Trump to intervene in the conflict.

Trump helped broke the Israel-Iran truce and his administration has quietly aimed to revive nuclear talks with Tehran, though he has also exchanged sharp words with top Iranian officials, casting doubt on the diplomatic path forward.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in Tehran for the state funerals of top military officials, nuclear scientists, and women and children killed by Israeli attacks during this month’s 12-day conflict.
