Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, calling on US President Donald Trump to step in to end the Gaza war and secure the release of hostages. The protest took place in a public square outside Israel’s military headquarters, where demonstrators waved national flags and held placards featuring images of the captives. Some signs directly appealed to Trump, including one reading: Trump’s legacy crumbles as the Gaza war persists”, and another declaring: President Trump, save the hostages now.
We believe Trump is the only person with enough influence over Bibi to make this happen,” said Boaz, a 40-year-old Tel Aviv resident, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Frustration with Netanyahu is growing as he pushes the military to seize Gaza City, where hostages are thought to be held. Families fear such operations could endanger their loved ones.
At the rally, Orna Neutra, whose son Omer, an Israeli-American soldier, was killed on October 7, 2023, and whose body remains in Gaza, accused the government of neglect. “We hope the US will push both sides toward a comprehensive deal to bring them home, she said. Saturday’s demonstration, one of the largest so far, drew tens of thousands in Tel Aviv, alongside a major protest in Jerusalem.
