Protests across Israel are set to take place this evening, with the central demonstration occurring at Habima Square in Tel Aviv at 19:30. This wave of protests is ignited by a controversial document released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which contains partial transcripts from cabinet meetings spanning from the 2014 Protective Edge operation until the events of October 7. One of the key demands from the demonstrators is the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to investigate government decisions and actions during this tumultuous period.

At the Tel Aviv protest, various speakers are scheduled to address the crowd, including Idogo Nager, whose wife Selina was tragically killed at the Nova party, and retired police commander David Tzur. Other protests are planned at the Performing Arts Center in Beersheba, where Bar Association chairman Amit Bachar will speak, and at multiple locations in the north, including the Khorov center in Haifa, where the parents of fallen soldier Itai Chen will also voice their grievances. This widespread discontent reflects a growing sentiment among the public regarding the government's handling of past conflicts and the pressing need for accountability.

Similar protests are expected to take place in various growth spots across the country, highlighting specific grievances tied to personal tragedies and broad governmental criticisms. Demonstrators in northern locations such as the junctions at Kirkur, Elonim, Goma, and others will likely amplify calls for justice and transparency, calling for a serious examination of government decisions that led to significant losses for families across Israel. With growing public engagement in this contentious issue, the outcomes of these protests could shape the conversation around accountability in the government’s future actions.
