Thousands of Israelis rallied to push for a government coalition between former military chief Benny Eisenkot and Arab parties, Al Jazeera English reported. The demonstration aimed to build support for a political arrangement that could remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office.
Netanyahu backers held a counterprotest, insisting Israel should not form a government that includes what they characterized as "terrorists," referring to Arab political parties. The dueling rallies reflected deep divisions within Israeli society over potential coalition formations and Netanyahu's continued leadership.
