Tel Aviv protests call for captives immediate return after 100 days
Thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday, to vent their anger at the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
His popularity has taken a significant knock in recent months, over his handling of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Many accuse Netanyahu of seeking to prolong the war, in an effort to cling to power.
Protesters, who are calling for fresh elections, blocked off a highway before police intervened to disperse the crowds.
Elsewhere in Tel Aviv, demonstrators staged another weekly protest, calling for the return of Israeli captives being held in Gaza.
There are still more than 130 captives held there.
