Israel in turmoil demanding Netanyahu's resignation, thousands of people protest

Thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday, April 18, 2026, demanding the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.

According to an AFP report, demonstrators criticized Netanyahu for fracturing Israeli society and damaging diplomatic relations with crucial allies like the U.S. and Europe.

Protesters, including social activists and families of victims from the October 7 attacks, are calling for a formal investigation into the security failures and the ongoing "endless wars" in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

Many participants alleged that the Prime Minister is prioritizing his political survival and legal immunity over the nation's security, urging a shift toward accountability and regional stability.
