Thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Saturday in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem to protest what demonstrators are calling an "endless war" waged by the government to keep itself in power. The rallies, coordinated by dozens of human rights organisations, came on the same day Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a recorded address claiming "historic successes" against Iran's regional influence. Protesters — some gathered directly outside Netanyahu's Jerusalem residence — accused the government of draining the state budget to fund military operations at the expense of civilian services, with several calling for resources to be redirected toward infrastructure such as shelters, particularly in Arab-Palestinian communities.
