Thousands of demonstrators gathered on Saturday evening in multiple cities across Israel, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, the Triangle region, and Beersheba. The protests called for the immediate formation of an Arab-Jewish government and displayed slogans opposing the return of right-wing rule.
Participants carried signs reading "Arab-Jewish Government Now" and urged leaders of the "Change bloc" to establish a government supported by a majority of 67 Knesset seats, representing a Jewish-Arab majority that voted for change. Organizers emphasized the need for a true partnership government and rejected yielding to Netanyahu's demands, stressing the importance of cooperation with the Arab public and its representatives.
The organizers directed their demands to Aizenkot, Bennett, Jabarin, Lapid, Golan, Abbas, and Liberman, calling on them to work towards establishing an Arab-Jewish government. The demonstrations were called for by various leftist and democratic organizations, including "Stand Together," "Hohfshim," "555," "Women Wage Peace," "Loyal to the Declaration of Independence," "White Coats - No Health Without Democracy," "Looking the Occupation in the Eye," "Zuzim - Popular Movement," "Mahzikkim," "We Go to Vote," "Rabbis for Human Rights," "Pink Front," and "Peace Now."
Protest locations included Habima Square in Tel Aviv, Paris Square in Jerusalem, the Auditorium Square in Haifa, and the Ras Amer junction on Road 444 between Tayibe and Bnei Brak, as well as Beersheba.
