Former Israeli military chief to join Tel Aviv protest calling for ceasefire deal

Former Israeli military chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot announced he will join a massive protest in Tel Aviv organized by the families of captives. The demonstration aims to pressure the Israeli government into reaching a ceasefire deal with Hamas. Eisenkot criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership, accusing him of dragging Israel into an abyss for personal and political reasons. The mother of one captive also urged public support for the strike, warning that more captives could die if Israel proceeds with a full occupation of the Gaza Strip.
