Masses of protesters in Israel took to the streets to voice their concerns and demands. The protests were initially called following the firing of Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, but intensified after Israel's return to fighting in Gaza. The protesters have a variety of demands, including stopping the firing of Ronen Bar, bringing the hostages home, ending the Israel-Hamas war, and calling for new elections and a new government. The protests are a result of a lack of trust in the government and its handling of various issues. The protests have formed a diverse coalition of organizations with different goals, showing both the unity and discontent within the country.
