[IsraelTimes] Protesters block several major highways, hundreds march outside PMO as Netanyahu convenes security cabinet

Large crowds of people erupted into the streets across the country on Tuesday, as part of an organized day of action demanding the government reach a deal for the release of 50 hostages still held by Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The day’s protests, which saw the blocking of several major highways, marches to the homes of ministers, and protests outside the Prime Minister’s Office as he held a security cabinet meeting there, culminated in a major protest in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square, which drew some 350,000 people, according to organizers. Police did not immediately provide their own independent estimate of the crowd size.

The day of action, announced by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, was the second in two weeks, after a major protest last Sunday drew crowds of over one million, according to the forum, with some 500,000 in Tel Aviv alone.

Throughout the day, protesters blocked highways and major intersections, including Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway, Route 1 between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the major Route 6 artery, and the Route 2 coastal highway, and in some cases, set fire to tires on the roads.

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the security cabinet for a meeting at his Jerusalem office, hundreds of protesters marched outside, demanding that the forum agree to the deal that Hamas said it accepted last week.

The security cabinet meeting concluded without a vote, or even a discussion, on the partial ceasefire proposal, with Netanyahu telling ministers that he will only discuss a comprehensive framework, and that he is moving ahead with the expanded operation to capture Gaza City to pressure Hamas to meet his conditions, according to Hebrew media reports.

In Tel Aviv, protesters marched from the Savidor central train station to Hostages Square, where family members of the hostages addressed the hundreds of thousands of people gathered.

According to a Channel 12 report, following the two days of mass protests, relatives of the captives are now planning to shift tactics and confront politicians directly.

The relatives hope to "disrupt the day" of Netanyahu and cabinet ministers, including by protesting outside their homes on a daily basis, the outlet said, adding that the families also plan to protest government and cabinet meetings, as a group did earlier Tuesday.

Protesters also plan to obstruct the politicians’ movements, the report said, in an effort to constantly remind them of the hostages’ plight.
