Anti-government protesters gathered at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament in Jerusalem on Sunday night, demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resign and agree to early elections over his failure to end the war in Gaza.
Thousands of activists pitched tents outside the parliament building, saying they are refusing to leave until Netanyahu agrees to elections.

The Sunday demonstration, which kicked off large-scale, multi-day protests in Israel’s capital, also urged Netanyahu to accept a hostages-for-ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
The gathering was organised by a coalition of groups, including Brothers in Arms and the Kaplan Force, that previously coordinated protests against the government’s now-shelved judicial reform agenda.
