Are mass protests likely to have an effect on Netanyahu? | DW News

Protesters in Israel are staging a "Day of Disruption," blocking roads and mounting demonstrations, as they call on the Israeli government to secure the return of hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas and other Palestinian groups. This comes ahead of today's security cabinet meeting and follows yesterday's airstrikes on a hospital in Khan Younis. Officials in Gaza say the attack killed 20 people, including five journalists. Israel says it was targeting a Hamas surveillance camera in the area.
