They are angry at what they see Netanyahu’s attempts to stay in power at any cost, after he decided that The resumption of the Gaza bombing last TuesdayEven with the Israeli prisoners remaining in the Palestinian pocket.

The ceasefire that Netanyahu broke up eventually witnessed the launch of all the prisoners, but he was not ready to move forward to end the war on Gaza, where the deal was stipulated.

Renewed Israeli air strikes in Gaza have killed more than 500 Palestinians, including 200 children, for five days. However, analysts say interest in the Palestinians who were killed in the pocket was absent from the opponents of the demonstrators.

“People do not think that there is any purpose of the ongoing war. Not because of what the Palestinians will mean – they are” unimaginable ” – but what it means for them and the hostages.”

Budget vote

The demonstrators – and many analysts – say that Netanyahu is only driven by political gains.

It has already achieved a political victory: the former right -wing National Security Minister Itamar been-a She joined the government on the day that Israel resumed its attacks on Gaza.

Netanyahu needs the support of Bin Ghafir-who resigned in January, angry at the ceasefire-in Parliament to ensure the approval of his government’s budget. If the budget does not pass by March 31, Snap elections will be held.

Throughout her life cycle, there were many competing interests competing for slices of budget pie, some of which threatened to raise the entire process.

Ben Ghaffir and the Jewish Authority Party had previously voted against budget budgets in December, angry that the budget did not include an increase in the police wage, which was informed of it.

A long -term issue also came from super Orthodox parties, which prompted for guarantees that the Jewish school students will be exempted from military service and that the government will continue to allocate large funds for religious seminars.

The budget imagines $ 169.19 billion in total spending, including large sums on “resources to defeat the enemy with support for reserve soldiers, business owners, and reconstruction efforts in the north and south,” according to Finance Minister Paisalel Sottic.

Anger

Netanyahu may be satisfied with sufficient support for his budget to pass, but he came at the expense of increasing the opposition’s anger towards him.

The demonstrators were populated against the return of Bin Ghafir-which approached immediately after the first strikes in Gaza, until the breaking of the ceasefire and their killing was part of an effort to ensure Netanyahu obtained enough political support in Parliament.

“Perhaps Netanyahu had the voices he already needed … However, Bin Ghafir’s support after the strikes ensures that the budget will pass,” said Israeli political analyst Nimrod Humanberg.

“There is a lot of anger … people are fighting … against the government and what it says,” Goldberg said. People … angry at Netanyahu and reject the proposal that he played for for years: that his well -being and welfare in the country. They are not. “

“It is like the clothes of the new emperor. Everyone can see it now: Emperor is naked.”

“Deep State”

Netanyahu claims to be assaulted from a “deep state” in his country of his rule for more than 17 years. The Prime Minister says that this deep state “weapted” the Ministry of Justice against him – which is a deliberate monkey for US President Donald Trump’s speech.

“In America and Israel, when the strong right -wing leader wins in the elections, The Lasefist Deep State wins the weapon of the judicial system to thwart the will of people. They will not win anywhere! We stand strongly together,” Netanyahu wrote on social media.

As part of this supposed battle against the deep state, Netanyahu is currently being imprisoned in a battle for the rejection of the head of local security service, Shane Hanhan, Ronin Bar, who is being investigated in the Prime Minister’s office. He is also trying to rid himself of the public prosecutor Galle Baharav Mayra, who initially prevented his attempts to suspend a tape. These moves added to the anger of the protest movement.

However, the Supreme Court froze the government’s attempt to get rid of the President of Shane Hann on Friday, and Baharav Mayra said on Sunday that the lack of confidence in it was not part of the process necessary to remove it from the position of public prosecutor.

On Saturday, Netanyahu claimed that the batch to the fire pub was not because he was investigating the Prime Minister’s office, but because of the failure of Shane a betting during the Hamas -led attack on October 7, 2023 on Israel, 1139 people were killed and more than 200 captive were taken.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu’s coalition voted against a bill to conduct an investigation into the failure of the political class that led to the October 7 attack.
