Israeli protesters call on Trump to end Gaza war

Thousands of Israeli protesters rallied in Tel Aviv, appealing directly to US President Donald Trump to force an end to the war in Gaza and secure the release of captives. The demonstrators gathered outside the military headquarters, holding signs with images of the captives and messages directed at the US president. Protesters expressed the belief that Trump is the only person with enough influence over Prime Minister Netanyahu to compel him to act. The mother of a deceased Israeli-American soldier also spoke, urging the United States to push for a comprehensive deal to bring the captives home.
