| [IsraelNationalNews] Avishai David, the father of hostage Evyatar David, voiced strong criticism against Sunday's disruptive nationwide demonstrations and said that their true purpose is not to return the hostages but rather to topple the government. "I do not doubt that the protest's hidden goal is to topple the government," David stated. "What gall to the photo of my son for political propaganda." Avishai's remarks echo those of other families of hostages, who have expressed frustration over the way their pain is being used in internal political battles. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the demonstrations are strengthening Hamas. "Those who are calling today for an end to the war without defeating Hamas are not only hardening Hamas’ position and delaying the release of our hostages, they are also ensuring that the horrors of October 7 will repeat themselves and that we will have to fight an endless war," Netanyahu stated.
