For the second night in a row, several thousand people demonstrated in Jerusalem late Wednesday against the sacking of Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dismissed Gallant on Tuesday, saying he had lost trust in him.
The demonstrators took to the streets on Wednesday, calling on Netanyahu to reverse the dismissal, Israeli media reported.
Protesters also called for a compromise with the militant Palestinian Hamas in the Gaza Strip to free the approximately 100 Israeli hostages still held there, and for the abandonment of planned exemptions from compulsory military service for ultra-Orthodox men.
In addition, demonstrators urged that a commission of inquiry be set up to investigate the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023 in Israel, which left 1,200 dead and 250 initially abducted.
Israel’s army and intelligence services were completely taken by surprise by the attack.
Gallant had also backed these demands, which was one of the reasons he had fallen out of favour with Netanyahu.
