Over 40,000 people gathered in Tel Aviv's Habima Square to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar amid an investigation into alleged ties between aides to the premier and Qatar. The protest, organized by the group 'Protective Wall for Israel,' included speeches from former security officials who accused Netanyahu of endangering the nation's security. The demonstration is one of the largest against the government in recent months and comes as Israel resumes fighting in the Gaza Strip.
