Netanyahu's cabinet has faced widespread criticism over the security failures during the Hamas offensive in southern Israel, which killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages in Gaza.

The protesters carried numerous banners and chanted slogans demanding that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet immediately resign, paving the way for general elections and the formation of a new government capable of reaching a hostage exchange agreement with Hamas.

On this occasion, opposition leaders also issued numerous statements containing strong attacks against Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Hamas and bring all hostages home. However, these goals are now proving difficult to achieve because Hamas, despite suffering heavy losses, has not been completely eradicated.

At a press conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said he was confident a solution would be found. He also said that holding an election at the height of the war would paralyze the country for months.

In Tel Aviv, some families of hostages and their supporters blocked a major highway to protest what they described as Netanyahu's attempts to effectively rescue their loved ones.
