Demonstrations against the government are scheduled to take place across Israel on Saturday evening, just three days before the upcoming elections. The main event will be held at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv starting at 7:30 PM, organized by the October Council under the banner "For Them." The rally calls for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry. Participants will include survivors of captivity and families of victims from the October 7th massacre. Musical performances by HaDag Nachash, Dana Berger, and Anya Bukstein are also scheduled. Several opposition party leaders are expected to attend the rally, though they are not slated to speak. Organizers have reportedly contacted the police to prevent provocations by right-wing activists.
