SCUFFLES between Israeli police and protesters erupted in Tel Aviv after thousands gathered to demonstrate against the government and demand it brings back the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.
Divisions among Israelis have deepened over how Netanyahu has handled the war after the attack that killed about 1200 people and saw 250 others taken hostage. Israel says around 100 hostages are still being held in Gaza, along with the bodies of around 30 more. The announcement came less than a week after the army said it had found the bodies of three other Israeli hostages killed on October 7.Around half of the 250 hostages taken by Hamas and other militants have been freed, most in swaps for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel during a brief ceasefire in November.
That brings the overall Palestinian death toll from the war to at least 35,984, said the ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and fighters in its count.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
